| Contents of DVD 1 Disc 1 contains three movies lasting about one hour each, with separate soundtracks. You can change around at any time between the video and audio track levels. Video/Movie No. 1 ULURU - The Fractal Symphony (* approved for children) Playing time: 56'38'' (* no age limit) This is the video and audio track of the ULURU premiere as Fractal Symphony at the Liszt Music Academy in Budapest on May 19, 1997. Conducted by the composer Robert Bachmann, several hundred instrumentalists and singers gave a symphonic performance specially compiled to suit this concert hall. The Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra (Budapest Symphony Orchestra) and five choirs distributed around the hall are complemented with a quartet of vocal and instrumental soloists: Christina Ascher, mezzo-soprano, Jeanne Christée and Elena Denisova, violins, and Marshall Whyler, didgeridoo. Video/Movie No. 2 ULURU - The Fractal Experience (** approved for children) Duration: 56'43'' (**aged 6 or more) The video track of The Fractal Experience combines the various image levels of the production in Australia and Europe to form another artistic-visual level. The sound-track was edited from the studio recordings with the London Voices and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, who are also shown on the video. "The Fractal Experience" also documents the genesis of ULURU. Alternating between studio and fieldwork, the complexity of this composition is likewise shown fractally. As a result, this documentary of The Fractal Experience gives a fascinating insight into how the work was created. Video/Movie No.3 ULURU - The Fractal Dreamtime (* approved for children) Duration: 56'44'' (*no age limit) "The Fractal Dreamtime" documents the composer‘s encounter with the Australian Aborigines. Song and dance, painting, traditions, and making a living – these are the themes of his research journey to the origins of Australian culture. The action scenes are Angatja in Northwest South Australia, near Uluru/Ayers Rock, and Utopia in Northern Territory. As an original contribution to intercultural dialogue, the song "Uluru, Ulurunya" by Ivy Nganyinytja, Mabel Tjulkiwa and Jeannie Kunmanara from Angatja bears witness to the interactive encounter with Robert Bachmann and his music. "The Fractal Dreamtime" shows rarely movieed ritual Aboriginal song and dance scenes, and the composer‘s meeting in Utopia with the Australian painter Dave Pwerle Ross who created the ULURU picture "Two Star Men". This unique documentation of intercultural encounter gently introduces viewers to the Aboriginal "Dreamtime" mystery. Contents of DVD 2 Disc 2 comprises two different parts. Part 1 contains further video/audio tracks with features, interviews and video clips, together with the original ULURU soundtracks.
