Face the Wound
Face the Wound was released on CD by Soleilmoon in 2001
a 'SpielOper', (Spoken Opera), blending rhythm with a stark melodic conception to orchestrate a 4000+ word vocal libretto developed from cut-ups drawn from approximately 30 audio cassette tapes collected from thrift shops, garage sales and flea markets
regarding the title, Face The Wound, the 'wound' in question is that wound in the societal and cultural psyche which resulted from the Witch Trials
and specifically from the genocide of the 9 million women burned as witches between the mid-1400’s to the end of the 1700’s
compositionally Face The Wound is a Tragi-comedy which shares with ancient Greek Drama the reliance on the dialog between 2 characters
in this case the male and female voices
i also adapted the Wagnerian device of leitmotif, but applied it to verbal rather than harmonic motifs and phrases

METAPHORS, MYTHOS AND METAPHONICS
11,000+ word article commissioned for Arcana V: Musicians on Music, Magic & Mysticism. Edited by John Zorn and published in 2010
according to their traditions, Chinese Alchemy was developed utilizing three elements: Principles, Myths, and Techniques
Metaphor was the Principle on which this article was developed
Mythos (Myths) reveals a universal depth of being the world over
and Metaphonics is the word i am coining/suggesting for the major Trance Induction Technique on the planet
that is, music/sound that is most concerned with transition/transportation.
that is, whose intent is to alter consciousness or to transpose between states of consciousness and/or levels of reality / ies
and this would be in contradistinction to secular musics that seek but to distract or entertain
and I am indebted to the prowess of my most gracious cousin, Felice Catena, the Goddess of the supernal Edit for her contribution to this one
