The Journey |
In 1983 Malcolm Fox was commissioned by the Australian Dance Theatre to compose electronic ballet music based on stories from Homer's Odyssey. This work was also choreographed for the 'Interface' art and technology programme at the Adelaide Festival in 1984. "Malcolm
was a very adventurous student when he was in my electronic music
class at the Royal College of Music, and over the years he completed
a number of interesting and imaginative tape pieces. One of the
best was The Journey, composed and realised in the Adelaide
University studio towards the end of his life. It's a searching,
rather enigmatic piece, revealing glimpses of a Malcolm Fox rarely
seen on the surface. The destination of the journey is not revealed
to the listener, but he knew." |
