Cyclopes: sounds of the Beginning and the End
Cyclopes is a series of four antiphonal woodwind ten-tets of homogeneous instrumentation. Musicians are positioned surrounding the audience providing a concert experience that is both immersive and surreal. Compositions for the ensembles focus on the creation of the universe, the chakras, monsters from the biblical cannon, and the end of the universe. These ensembles are mobile and prepared to perform in both traditional and non-traditional performance spaces.
“The Cyclops” by Odilon Redon
The History of the Cyclops
“…They were blood-related to the Titans and gods of Olympus… Giants with a single eye in the middle of their forehead and a foul disposition. They were strong and stubborn. Collectively they became synonymous with brute strength and power, and their name was invoked in connection with massive masonry. They were often pictured at their forge… having produced the lightning bolts used by Zeus himself.”

The
Meaning
of 10
“TAROT SYMBOLISM: Key 10 The Wheel of Fortune. The symbol corresponding to this card is the closed hand, indicating mental comprehension. To grasp is to own; and to grasp your place in the world is to grasp what and who you really are. Therefore you never suffer material deprivation. The number 10 begins a new cycle, a repetition of the 1. Rotation and cyclicity are the keywords for the Wheel of Fortune. All is in the process of becoming; change is the only constant, so in due time, all things come to pass.”
