"In a 1972 lecture called “Four Criteria of Electronic Music”, noted German avant-garde composer (and in fact my great-uncle) Karlheinz Stockhausen, declared music to be a powerful tool able to affect the “atomic layers of ourselves”. Karlheinz believed that the listener was effected and altered on imperceptible levels, and indeed ‘absorbed’ all music at the cellular level on exposure. If this is indeed the case, then we are what we ‘eat’ musically - great audio-phonic ‘sponges’ shaped and activated by sound and soundscape. By rational extension the sentient being should be conscious and discerning of their sonic diet and landscape. Naturally the broadest and most exploratory palette should likewise be encouraged, to extend and (if possible) actualise latent human potentials. I’m often aware (and deeply thankful) for the great role sound and music have played in my life’s journey. Shaped by sound, I offer this gift - a compendium of audio explorations - through the valleys and hills of life, from one road to another. A map manifested in ideas, subtle philosophies and ancient yearnings." D. Thrussell 2015 Links Artist: Facebook Label: Website | Facebook |
