Album title Acousma Light refers to Acousmatic music in which
a sound source isn't visible during the concert or listening
session. <br style="color: rgb(210, 234, 228); font-family:

In 1955 a pioneer of musique concrète, French composer Pierre
Schaeffer coined a term acousmatique, derived from the Greek
word akousmatikoi (the hearers). The latter was used by
Pythagoras to describe uninitiated disciples. According
historical sources, the aspirants had to follow a vow of
silence for five years while listening to the teachings of the
master behind a screen (a curtain), without seeing him. <br

In a composition Acousma Light sound components are being
grained into sonic particles - as elemental as possible. The
sound of the piece may be described in such characteristics as
timbre, spectrum of sound, varying and changing speed of
motion. <br style="color: rgb(210, 234, 228); font-family:

In the first stage of composition, in which a recording of
live performance takes place, a principle of sound
deconstruction is being employed. Recorded material is then
being organized into a structure that gradually evolves into a
crystallized form. <br style="color: rgb(210, 234, 228);

are attached to sensory hair. When the head tilts, the
movement of stones causes nerve impulses that originate into a
sense of balance. </small>
