ELOY, JEAN-CLAUDE - Shanti

"Shânti (1972-73) for electronic and concrete sounds. Electronic music studio, WDR, Cologne, Germany, 1972-73. Digitalized and revised version from 2001. "The term 'meditation music' triggered many conflicting comments including positive ones. Others, wondering at the strong sound presence of the piece, consider such aspect as hardly helpful to their own meditation. What meditates here is the composer. He is the one who takes you on his journey and guides you through his work like in a classic or romantic symphony. As a listener you are invited to follow 'his' meditation. The composition is the meditation.""
