Concert #5: One
The eMC, together with contributing composers from a dozen countries, produced an outdoor sound installation in honour of the Dalai Lama’s visit to Vancouver. Our aim was to fashion a sonic manifestation of His Holiness’s messages of peace, non-violence, inter-religious understanding, compassion, and universal responsibility. In particular, the project mirrored the topic of His keynote address: “Tibet in the Contemporary World.” Using both traditional and modern instruments (Tibetan singing bowls and electronics) we attempted to impart the relevance of His Holiness’s spiritual teachings in today’s world. The music featured long transformations of meditative tones, yielding a continuous and gradually evolving stream of tranquillity. The slow-moving nature of the music created a meditative environment; listeners left the environment peaceful, focused, and energized.
