"The coupling, Clepsydra, is subtitled “an operatic installation with 13 performers.
”There are three parts to the piece: “The Dreams,” “The Eclipse,” and “The Ritual,” although in the music itself these three units overlap. The videos represent the creation of time through the flow of water and the repetitive way of dream space. There are only three characters, a Man, a Woman, and a whispering ensemble.
The music here is often intensely beautiful. Whereas in Phantasmagorilla one admires the sure hand of construction and, indeed, the wit, here one is transported to what might be termed higher realms. Minimalism is again touched upon at the “Transform” part of “The Ritual” (The sands shift in rare geometry). The important thing to grasp here is that, for all of its multimedia basis, Clepsydra works beautifully as a musical construct, and as imagined theater."
