the fog in our poise evokes the ceremonial music of an imaginary culture. This fictitious population would allow for a certain refinement in rituals and social graces, while retaining a profound relationship with their physicality and their natural environment. I am envisioning an admittedly idealized world where the civilized/uncivilized binary would simply not exist. Human intelligence and creativity would intertwine with the complexity of nature. Musically, this results in the coexistence of composed melodies and rhythmical structures, with semi-organized textures and atmospheres.
