Library shelf no. 784.2/CAR 3 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
El Nino. Boat People. The Life of Pi. Petrol prices. Voyage of
the Dawn Treader.
Under a general theme of ocean and politics Currencies to
Current Seas is a swirling, noisy flurry of orchestral sound
unified by static quarter-tonal brass chords, giddily repeated
semiquaver woodwind passages, chromatic swirling effects and a
lush but unstable recurring harmonic motive. Each of these
elements is employed, exploited and combined to create a rapid
and sometimes funky work suggestive of stormy seas and political
chaos (or is that normality?)
