about
Composed by John Oliver in 2004
for clarinet and four-channel audio
In Dust I return to the ideas & sound world of my dramatic award-winning work El Reposo del Fuego for synthesizers and audio. That work ended with the phrase “El Tiempo es polvo” (Time is Dust). This work continues where El Reposo del Fuego left off, and explores the concept of time as dust. Eerily, El Reposo del Fuego took disaster, grief and loss as its themes and was written around the time of the Mexico City earthquake (1985); I began work on Dust, which explores the sense of dilated time that occurs during a disaster, a month before the attack on the USA of September 11 and completed it afterward, amazed by this synchronicity.
The clarinet virtuosity of François Houle plays a central role in this dramatic intense work. Nominated for the Outstanding Classical Composition Award at the 2006 Western Canadian Music Awards.
FRANCAIS
Dans la pièce “Dust”, je reviens au monde des idées et des sons de mon œuvre dramatique primée “El Reposo del Fuego” pour synthétiseurs et bande magnétique. Cette œuvre se terminait par l’expression “El tiempo es polvo [le temps est poussière]. “El Reposo del Fuego” a pris pour thèmes la souffrance et la perte et a été composé au moment du tremblement de terre de México; j’ai commencé à travailler “Dust”, qui explore le sens de la dilatation du temps qui se produit au cours d’un désastre, un mois avant l’attaque du 11 septembre aux États-Unis et je l’ai terminé par la suite, tout stupéfié de ce synchyronisme.
