Marc Behrens – Clould – CD

The title “Clould” convolutes the words “cloud”, hinting at humankind’s fascination of supposed supernatural beings that lived in clouds or created them, and “could”, a potentiality. Historical mythologies are placed in the context of 21st century airborne mass transport that propels large groups of human beings — passive by force — through a space that once belonged to mythological beings and energies. And to the clouds, of course.

Composed by Marc Behrens, the “Clould” cycle of electroacoustic music pieces and its preamble “Aiear” (Crónica 218~2024) together consist of 95 minutes of music, five microstories, the libretto for its fifth movement, a number of aerial photographs and text charts, and a performance concept including the first three movements. This CD features the complete five movements of “Clould“.
