Cry
Album UK 1985 on BBC Records label
Electronic and Classical (Abstract, Contemporary, Experimental)
Subtitled: "A work for 28 amplified voices, with electronic treatment". Cry is a song about the creation of the world. Its seven movements correspond to the seven days of the primitive Creation story. It is scored for 28 solo voices, from very low bass to very high soprano. The voices are amplified (in a live performance) and modified by various electronic devices. My purpose in writing Cry was to create a new sound world - to wipe clean the slate of my musical heritage, as far as that is possible. I wanted a fresh, new-born world, in which I and the listener could feel at ease with eachother. I needed to begin again at the begininng. Were used: Mini Moog Synthesizer, Eventide 949 Harmonizer, Roland Stereo Flanger SBF325, A.M.S. Stereo Digital Delay, Quantec Q.R.S. Simulator and Lexicon 224X Echo Simulator. BBC Artium. Gatefold cover. Contained a single sided insert that was the same as the right-hand side of the gatefold inside only on a white background.
