Product details
The title is taken from a quotation by Denis Diderot in D'Alembert's Dream (1762); 'the bird organ is made of wood, man is made of flesh'.
The work consists of 3 movements, taking as their starting point
my interest in early forms of automata and their parallel with
natural, environmental sound. Each movement explores the timbral
properties of percussion instruments grouped according to their
materials: metal, wood, membranes, tuned and untuned; merging
certain timbral colours together.
