MUSIC LOOKING OPENLY OUTSIDE ITSELF, SO THAT ITS PARTICIPANTS (MYSELF, PERFORMERS, LISTENERS) MAY DO SO AS WELL. CONFIDENT THAT MEDITATION AND ACTION, CONSCIENCE AND POLITICS, BE NOT OPPOSED.
KUKSU DANCE
I recorded and mixed this version of my piece Kuksu Dance in my home in Lyon France with a very old accordion. The piece is actually written for any instrument or group of instruments that is capable of realizing the score somehow. I wrote the piece as a kind of healing rite and so is meant especially for private performance or public distribution through recording; as opposed to a large concert setting.

"Hoist the Sail" (or pharmaceutical profit)
an excerpt from my 3-movement work called Kuksu Dance. revenue of 11 large pharmaceutical corporations over a ten year period (1996-2005) in 10 millions of dollars translated (in hz) to sine tones, with the Sandoz (a subsidiary of Novartis) company song “Hoist the Sail” modulating in pitch according to Novartis’ gross profits until 2005 (translated from dollars to musical cents).

d-22 for sine tones
difference tones creating new difference tones... it is recommended that this be listened to in open air (ie without headphones) and at a high enough volume level so that the difference tones can be felt ringing in the ear.
