Room Views, from inDelicate Balance

$2.00

“Room Views” is characterized by the following poetic expression:

Views into the present,
Views into the past,
and the future always becoming itself,
because of what it is,
what it was, and
what it has to be.

Unmemorable, unforgettable moments,
and exquisitely insignificant details,
like gentle ghosts, follow everywhere,
aching to be more than what was
left behind in the mist.

“Room Views” is the fourth movement of Craig Harris’ computer music composition inDelicate Balance (1989).

inDelicate Balance exists at the unseen, imaginary barrier, at once on all sides, and always inside and outside. It contains found sounds, live and manipulated piano sounds, and representations of sounds from the inner ear and internal world. This work offers a perspective on contemporary existence utilizing the sounds that surround us.

inDelicate Balance was realized using a combination of digital software processing and mixing techniques, and real-time sampling, processing, and mixing systems. The entire inDelicate Balance is included in the SEAMUS Concert Recording Series. Somewhere between is published on the Electro Clips CD from empreintes Digitales. Room Views appears on the premiere CD from Leonardo Music Journal. The live performance version of inDelicate Balance had its premiere at the 1993 International Symposium on Electronic Art.

“Room Views” is characterized by the following poetic expression:

Views into the present,

because of what it is,
what it was, and
what it has to be.

Unmemorable, unforgettable moments,
and exquisitely insignificant details,
like gentle ghosts, follow everywhere,
aching to be more than what was
left behind in the mist.
