Ouroboros
from Music from the Association for the Promotion of New Music (APNM), vol. 1 & 2
About
Adam Vidiksis’s Ouroboros references the ancient Egyptian symbol of a serpent eating its own tail as a metaphor for the cyclical nature of human experience. Composed in three sections, Vidiksis establishes rhythmic and material cycles, each of which is “held captive by its own repetitions.”
The Association for the Promotion of New Music (APNM) was founded in 1975 by Jacques-Louis Monod as a community of American composers with shared aesthetic values. This double album release features acoustic, electro-acoustic, and purely electronic works by their member composers and celebrates the organization’s more than four decades long commitment to composers spanning different generations and aesthetic approaches.
