Thomas van den Eynde - I Am A Moment Illuminating Eternity

from Inferno by Cities and Memory

/

about

Sorcerors created by Thomas van den Eynde.

"I Am A Moment Illuminating Eternity is a short piece for string orchestra. When I was assigned zone 22 of Hell, I found myself in the region of sorcerors, fortune tellers and diviners. By spending their lives trying to foresee the future, they were punished by having "their heads turned backwards on their bodies and to be compelled to walk backwards throughout eternity".

"Musically I represented this by arranging slowly swelling tone clusters in an almost contrapuntal canon, always repeating itself. The recording should be perceived as only a fragment of an eternally continuous shifting mass of sound.

"Both the title and the music evoke a search for enlightenment, a quest to find a glimpse of Infinity. "
