Product details
The CD Callisto features works composed for the Fairlight
Computer Musical Instrument (CMI) which is the world's first
digital music sampler, a product of the late 1970s. The recording
also provides some documentation of a phase of Michael Hannan's
development as a composer, during which he was an insider of a
ground breaking project generated by the CMI at that time, being
1984.
Each work conveys images that draw one away to other worlds, in
the case of Callisto (the largest moon of Jupiter) to a sound
analysis of laughter, a series of studies, a sonata written in
the style of Conlon Nancarrow, through the inspiration generated
by animal calls, a tribute to Slonimsky, finally and intriguingly
an attempt to stimulate the conditions by which a thought trance
is induced.
Liner notes include programme notes.
