Dance of Stillness |
Daryl Runswick writes:This piece was originally written for Electric Phoenix in 1984: it is actually the second movement of I Sing The Body Electric. The person who first thought of performing it separately from the rest of that work was Terry Edwards, and Phoenix gave the premiere of Dance of Stillness (Terry's title) in Liverpool's Catholic Cathedral in 1990. In that form it was performed by the group's four singers, the men overtone-singing and processing their voices in real time through a ring modulator and a long delay, the women improvising melodies on Philip Pacey's text.
It didn't occur to me that Dance of Stillness might go well
