Overview

Fleeting Images --- 1993

Liner notes in English translated in Japanese. ℗ 1993 Ode Record Company Ltd © 1993 John Rimmer From notes that appear on Artist's Soundcloud page: "FLEETING IMAGES for Computer Generated Sounds Fleeting Images uses the POD system for computer synthesis and composition developed by Barry Truax at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver and was composed in 1985. Environmental sound images based on real recorded experiences develop during the piece. The active, rhythmic textures are suggestive of the dynamism of nature - birds, insects and the bubbling energy of geothermal activity while the long sustained sounds evoke images of waves crashing on rocky coastlines mixed with the humming of telephone wires across vast open plains. ....... Fleeting Images was awarded the International Electroacoustic Studios Prize (ex aequo) in 1986."
