Product details
This recording features the resonant and meditative sounds of the
modern day low flutes. These austere, breathy and even creepy
flute sounds should inspire an abundance of musical
imaginations.
These unique instruments transverse down to deep dark tones and
into the depths of low frequencies still unexplored by most
woodwind instruments, especially flutes. The hyperbass flute
alone plays lower than a concert piano, as the subcontrabass
flute shares the same range as the orchestral string bass.
The title of the album originates from the dramatic medium, yet
has direct applications to our musical language. Monologue is the
sharing of one's personal thoughts and feelings to an audience,
as dialogue is the written or verbal exchange between two or more
people. During the late 19th century the terms found new
philosophical meanings as the essence of 'true dialogue' was
deemed an authentic relationship between human and human, and
between human and God.
The musical purpose of the recording is based on this
philosophical connotation of 'true dialogue'. Any musical tone,
phrase, instrument or even composition may also be considered an
authentic relationship. These sonic relationships of musical
sound and feeling create a purpose far beyond everyday
entertainment, and may go as far as embodying healing powers for
mind, body and soul.
Liner notes include programme notes and biographical notes on composers.
