The canon is an ancient compositional technique in which an initial melody is imitated at a specified time interval by one or more parts, creating illusionary never-ending musical journeys.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe work is inspired by the evocative image of the Deprong Mori, a mythological bat with the alleged ability to fly through solid matter by bending atoms by its natural skill of audio echolocation. The myth suggests that one of these bats had been “eternally frozen” in a wall of solid lead in 1952 by the researcher of the Rockefeller University, Donald R. Griffith. This story is exhibited in a display at the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles, an institution renowned for both speculative, fantastical reinforcement of mythology and playful and beguiling distortions of mysterious could-be truths.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoth the canon and the “frozen” Deprong Mori are man-made illusory simulations of eternity. Their attempt is to create mirages, where the insinuation of facts is more meaningful than the reality.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter many years of sonic explorations with percussion, drums, and electronics, Belfi is here projecting himself as a composer through the direction of an astonishing brass ensemble in the realization of these canonic works. There are evident echoes of the works of Arthur Russell, Miles Davis, Moondog, William Basinski, and the Italian soundtrack tradition of Ennio Morricone and Egisto Macchi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Pastorale\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Setteottavi\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 Exotica\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 Golden\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 Pulsing\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maple Death Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42298195673244,"sku":"MDR65","price":20.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/unnamed_ea87a03f-0864-4b7f-8df9-dbe06f7f8309.jpg?v=1674446806","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/andrea-belfi-eternally-frozen-transparent-vinyl-in-a-special-metallic-paper-sleeve-with-a-booklet","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
