Requiem in Memoria Salvador Dalí

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
This piece was composed in honour of the death of Salvador Dali, the surrealist painter, who shares my birthday. The piece attempts to musically interpret and transliterate the techniques and aesthetic of surrealism. Digital "samples" (analogous to photo realistic images in painting) are taker out of context and modified or "warped". Use of the traditional Latin requiem text reflects Dali's use of religious imagery. All sounds on this piece are produced by voices, human and animal; including Dali's own voice describing this obsession with death.
