A1 Betwixt and between (5) You lie there awake (5) Yet dead (2) A blinking corpse, they call you. (7) A2 Yet I am immune (5) To your de-efferented state (8) [or: To your de-eff'rented state (7)] Your love (2) Still effervescently flows out from you. (10) B1 You always loved the twilight (7) That time between night and day (oh) (7 or 8) You always loved twilight (7) In liminal spaces we like to play. (My love.) (10) A3 (Are you) Locked-out or locked-in? (7) I can't remember (5) The word (2) [or: The term (2)] Or label for your syndrome. (7) A4 A white-breasted dove (5) Resembles your state (5) Your peace (2) Your love and tranquility (7) B2 You always loved the twilight (7) That time between night and day (7) You always loved twilight (7) In liminal spaces we like to play. (10) And Crepuscule with Nellie is your fav'rite Monk tune. (13) A5 Make one blink for "yes" (5) Or two blinks for "no" (5) Tell me (2) Shall I stay here beside you? (7) A6 (My love) "Prepare for the worst" (7) The doctors all say (5) You blinked! (2) Was that six times or seven?! (7) Transition What's the meaning of eleven?! (8) Don't make hell of this heaven! (7) B3 You always loved the twilight That time between night and day You always loved twilight In liminal spaces we liked to play. B4 You always loved the twilight That time between night and day You always loved twilight In liminal spaces we liked to play.

about

This album contains the audio recordings associated with my research for my PhD in composition. This album demonstrates the potential of a range of contemporary compositional techniques that seek to fuse intercultural approaches with jazz and Western art music, resulting in an hybridized contemporary style.
