In the Orbit of Venus

The music is cast in a single 11-minute span which builds gradually in distinct developments of materials which emanate from the opening. It aims to evoke key aspects of Venus — of imperiousness, of being ‘under the spell’, as it were — together with planetary movement in outer space. Repeated notes evoke, perhaps, satellite radio signals and movement, mythic names in Morse code or just a vague communicative presence.
