I's ¢ wonderful teeing fo envisage music In tho. future which can hoppen In completely different places synchronously for example in space -ships where performers could 'be playing with other performers in other space -ships So this isthe: fist time in history where musicions have been flown for @ performance in ofc fo perfoim synchronously fora pubic who are: ‘watching andistening In on aucitonum, The next scene which | cm composing now is probably the most ‘cemenaiing musiealy, t © caled Michaelion and Michaellon i & sccred flue meetina piace of delegates from aifferent aclaxies where fist, In the form of c camel, (which sounds ridiculous) communicates via a short wave receiver, short wave events, 10 Gelegates who oFe diessed in ctferent ways ond sing in different Styles and in diferent Glolects not of this planet cond they present ‘tnemeaives ftom where they come from (e.g. Alpha Centort sl many st6f REMes Gre Used). Finaty the camel transforms In a humourous wey By fghting with is assstant, 0 rombone player. they pretend fo have a bul fight and finally the bul ss on the Torero cna ‘ll laugh ete. then the women open the zips ofthis camel and out ‘comes azen monk who lsput on cstoolandine begins to imitate wiin his volo, short wave. programmes that he receives from ol over the: ‘world flor notes fo morte code fo languages trom al ver the word {Gnd also Sounds that we don't know where they come trom etc. and ‘ne choir singers learn trom him and imitata what he dos, n solos. ‘duos. trios and ciferent groupings. when finally sb go around the: [public and sing the final message .$0 he ‘tains’ his pups to being the ews to the word, he news that he ties fo transite to them, and he Is called the ‘operator’, so that is hs new function after having been 2 camel! What's ficult In this piece Is that the number of chotr singer on the stage constantly changes fom 36 that are present plus 5 solos Crumpet, rombone, bosset hom, flute ond the ‘short wove Singer) to nobody on the stage but snging coming from back soge {and there ore 18 what I call portions or Spanish Wels which are so Up In a very special way, and through the sits between the parts of tne.
