night pulses - apostolos loufopoulos 11m33s.   night pulses was completed in March 2003. In this work the idea of 'night' is used to represent an abstract sound-world, an 'electronic landscape', which gradually unfolds, often revealing sources and behaviours of nature. 'pulsations' are the main morphological characteristic: the sonic events are often interwoven with variable pulses, which interact and develop an unsteady, kinetic environment, set in a static harmonic field.Ê'pulsations' can also be appreciated symbolically: they symbolize the continuous cycle of life in relation to time.   the context is divided in three major parts, which are connected by bridge-sections, and in which the sound material has different structural and symbolic roles:   part 1: creation: awakening, release of energy, confusion.   part 2: earth: crickets and cicadas, ground noises, air and water.   part 3: eternity, endless time: harmonic backgrounds, rhythmic patterns, repetition.   night pulses was realised at the composer's private studio and at city university electroacoustic music studios in london. It was awarded the jury prize and the audience prize at the SCRIME 2003 international competition, bordeaux-france.
