8-kanalige elektronische Komposition / Studio : Klang Projekte Weimar / 1999, neue Stereo-Version 2007 / Dauer: 09:15 min / Michael von Hintzenstern gewidmet / Uraufführung in seiner 8-kanaligen Originalversion am 18. September 1999 beim Festival elektronischer Musik in Luzern (Schweiz)
Eikasia - Repräsentation - Modell - Abbild - Vergleich - Mutmaßung.
Diese Komposition ist meine erste Arbeit mit physical modelling. In all meinen vorangegangenen elektroakustischen Stücken wurden immer existierende Klangquellen weiterverarbeitet. Mit Eikasia unternehme ich den Versuch, eine vergleichbare Klangkomplexität mit reiner Synthese zu erreichen, wie wir sie auch von akustischen Objekten kennen. Am Anfang der Arbeit stand die Formalisation existierender Metall- und Saitenklänge mittels physikalischer Repräsentationen im Computer. Während der Realisation verglich ich die Syntheseklänge mit der Objektivität der realen Ausgangsklänge und schuf schließlich eine breite klingende Skala: von Abstraktion bis zur realistischen Abbildung der Originale. Die Zeitstukturierung der Formteile resultiert aus den Klängen selbst, sie ist sozusagen während des Arbeitsprozesses gewachsen. Alle Klänge wurden mit dem Programm Modalys vom IRCAM realisiert.

Eikasia - representation - model - picture - comparison - conjecture.
This composition was my first work using "physical modeling". In all my previous electroacoustic works, real sound sources have been processed. In Eikasia, I was trying to achieve a comparable sound complexity through pure synthesis. I started with formalized computer models of actual sounds. During the work prozess, I compared the synthesized models with their original sounds and came up finally with a large sound palette that ranges from abstraction to reality. The formal structure is a result of the complexity of the sounds; it evolved during the working process. All sounds were realized with the program Modalys from IRCAM.

Le minuit de la foi - Dämmerlicht (5006)
Le minuit de la foi (The midnight of the faith) (2014) for electronic and concrete sounds, around selected sentences by Edith Stein recorded by German actress Gisela Claudius. New work from Jean-Claude Eloy, a long piece under the power of expanded sounds and sacred words.
Le minuit de la foi is a double album, each CD of which forms a stand-alone entity. Each CD can therefore be listened to separetly. However, you do need to listen to the full album for it to become meaningful through its complementary balances, and to grasp its very essence.

![Tangerine Dream - Zeit 2nd Movement - Nebulous Dawn [1972]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SG5UmB3qzFc/mqdefault.jpg "Tangerine Dream - Zeit 2nd Movement - Nebulous Dawn [1972]
Unlike most classic albums where listeners are ultimately able to come to a loose consensus on whether its good or not, Zeit remains a hot topic, forty years after its release. Even Tangerine Dreams core fanbase often finds itself divided on the issue, with some listeners deeming it among the greatest, most groundbreaking electronic albums ever made, and others marginalizing it as bong-addled nonsense. In a sense, Tangerine Dreams third record is the Tales from Topographic Oceans of progressive electronic music; a quintessential love it or hate it affair, with convincing arguments on both sides. Ultimately, its up to the individual listener to make up their own mind on the matter. Its an album that could be incredible or trite, simply based on the time and place a listener is when they listen to it. For all of its surface listlessness however, Zeit is as rich an ambient experience as they come. It is as challenging today as it was forty years ago, and though its possible only Tangerine Dreams more devoted fans will have the patience for its listlessness and quiet hum, theres a massive atmosphere here that could never have happened any other way.
Taken at face value, its a sprawling, drawn out sound experiment, turning its nose on melody, harmony and rhythm in order to focus solely on the texture of sound. Its as if the neoclassical composer Gyorgy Ligeti composed an electronic album. Although Tangerine Dreams golden, pre-soundtrack era was defined by longwinded compositions and spacey atmosphere, Zeit seemingly takes the composition out of the equation, leaving Froese and co. to focus solely on the way the music sounds. Zeit is the German word for Time, and its curious that Tangerine Dream would give that title to a piece that seems to eschew the concept entirely.
Nebulous Dawn is similarly abstract, but changes the palette of sound considerably. Here, Tangerine Dream evoke a much spacier impression, with sounds ranging from a looming hum, to ominous bubbling and the sounds I can only imagine would be heard most comfortably in the anal probing room of a UFO. Unlike Birth of Liquid Plejades however, there is less sense of progression, save for the gradual increase of the background hum. Once again, there are no melodies or apparent rhythmic structures- only a thick slab of sonic experimentation. Throughout the track, there is the perpetual image of a nano age super highway in a far future metropolis. Think the crowded, dark realm of Blade Runner, and that may be a good indication where Nebulous Dawn leads the listener.

8-kanalige elektroakustische Komposition / Auftrag: Radio Berlin-Brandenburg / Studio : Klang-Projekte-Weimar / 2004 /
Dauer: 15:06 min / Jonty Harrison gewidmet / Uraufführung in der originalen 8-kanaligen Version am 20. Januar 2004
zum Festival Ultraschall Berlin / Erster Preis beim Wettbewerb Musica Nova Prag 2006
Rojo ist ein Herantasten an den Gedanken der Gleichzeitigkeit unterschiedlichster, über den Erdball verstreuter Klangphänomene. Die Komposition verbindet Aufnahmen verschiedener Kulturen und verschmelzt sie in ein tiefrotes Klangritual. Klang-Erinnerungsfetzen mehrerer Reisen vermischen sich, wechseln ihre Idendität, verlassen ihre Erkennbarkeit und werden zu Klangmassen andere behalten ihre solistischen Eigenschaften und markieren Orte und Zeit.

2004 / duration: 15.06 min / dedicated to Jonty Harrison / first performance in the original 8-channel version on
January 20, 2004 Festival Ultraschall Berlin / first prize Musica Nova Prag 2006
Rojo is an imagining of simultaneous musical activities throughout the world. Recorded memories from several trips join and exchange their qualities. Sometimes they change into huge sound masses, and occasionally their original environment is preserved. As it unfolds, the composition creates an imaginary ritual where many sources meet and play together.
