Each autumn the Japanese goddess Tatsuta-Hime wove a beautiful multicolored tapestry, then incarnated herself as wind and blew her own work to shreds. A multi-media work alluding to the Sirens of Greek mythology and the fog horns of the San Francisco Bay. A 52 minute work in six movements based on the the Book of Revelation . An updated version of Hans Christian Anderson's fairytale composed with C-sound on a text by the composer's husband, Jim Labe. A Work as gorgeously beautiful as it is simple.
Hysteria is the Greek word for womb.
The text by the composer's poet husband, John Campion, explores the meaning of the word in several languages and provides the basis for this highly dramatic and profound work which was composed with ProTools and Audioscuplt.
