The Clocks Whole tone improvisation on Les Horloges (mp3)

Details

This is an improvisational audio piece in full tones by David W Solomons, inspired by a poem from SN Solomons that draws from Verhaeren. The setting is a quiet, dark household. You'll hear representations of crutches and walking sticks moving back and forth, symbolizing the passage of time. The sounds of clocks, embellished with flower motifs and old mechanisms, introduce antique numbers on large, moon-like faces. The audio incorporates the clanging of hammers, the ticking of a ratchet, and a leaden chime, accompanied by the subtle manipulation of wooden words. The ambiguous conversation that follows adds to the overall narrative.
