Glossary

EMANATION

The „Emanations“ of ULURU are fully individual versions of the score, either played by the orchestra or sung by the chorus. An „Emanation“ is based on the 108 staffs of the score, each instrument or singer playing or singing as soloist an independent but simultaneous part.


INTERFERENCE

The „Interference“ emanation of this volume combines orchestra with chorus and incorporates one further element: the interference of music by other composers. In this version, snatches of music by Ludwig van Beethoven and Anton Bruckner emerge from the overall texture. The overall length of this very complex version of ULURU is 144 bars.


EVOCATION

The „Evocations“ for Chorus are independent derivatives of the integral score of ULURU. They comprise in a nutshell the material of the whole composition. They can be looped and serve as a link between the „Emanations“ of the composition.


RECITATIVE

The „Recitatives“ for Chorus are independent derivatives of the integral score of ULURU. They are based on the rhythmic structure of the composition and represent a transformation of the percussion section of the score. They can be looped and serve either as a link between the „Emanations“ of the composition or are rhythmic „Emanations“ in their own right.


DREAMTIME CLUSTER

The „Dreamtime Clusters“ are complex combinations of various sound sources in connection with the making of ULURU, including Aboriginal songs. They are carefully composed versions in their own right and must not be mistaken for acoustic collages. Rather, they are polyphonic sound-sculptures, also to be used for multi-media spacesound performances.


HYPERCLUSTER

A „Hypercluster“ is a complex structure of very high density, generated from „Protoclusters“ and the simultaneous performance of any kind of ULURU music.


METACLUSTER

A „Metacluster“ is a combination of „Hyperclusters“ and „Metafractals“ and any other sound sources and music of ULURU.


PROTOCLUSTER

A „Protocluster“ contains the very essence of the work, performed in a „single stroke“ manner.


METAFRACTAL

A „Metafractal“ is a combination of thoughts of a spiritual and emotional content in connection with ULURU and „Hyperclusters“.
