Abstract
The corpora quadrigemina located in the mid-brain are composed of two pairs of lobes which are visual and auditory reflex centers. This four part composition is an example of structured improvisation recognizable but different each time it is performed. Instead of regular musical notation, the performer is provided with tape accompaniment and sets of suggestions, images, descriptive phrases, excerpts of prose or poetry, and instructions relating to sound processing.
Credits: Michael Chocholak - composition & tape, Hein Pijnenburg - bass clarinet. Recorded at The Hague by Hans van Eck. Both Hein and Hans are members of the Schreck Ensemble.
