An homage to Erik Satie and Robert Desnos - A sensuous sound journey by the Ensemble European Music Project
“Inside the Dream” evolved out of a live multimedia performance with a multichannel sound installation, voice, and an ensemble augmented by modern “club electronics.” This CD presents the musical part of the performance. At its center are several early songs by Erik Satie, along with his famous “Gnossiennes”. Satie’s compositions are flanked by Jürgen Grözinger’s pieces, consciously written with a similar gesture, making the CD something of an homage to Satie, who was both a forefather of modern music and a close friend of the surrealists.
Jürgen Görzinger is fascinated by the French surrealists and especially by Robert Desnos. "Inside the Dream" is an associative approach to and transformation of the atmosphere of longing, eroticism, passion, adventure, and melancholy which are presented in Desnos's poetry - all mixed with a touch of humor.
The liner notes in German, English and French are illustrated with photographs by P.J. Boman from his book "Muse: Desire and Severance".
