Shutting Down Here

Shutting Down Here

Shutting Down Here is a special work. Symbolically, it covers a period of thirty years, between two visits by Jim O'Rourke to the GRM.

The first visit was as a young man fascinated by the institution and its repertoire, while the second visit was as an accomplished musician, influential and imbued with an aura of mystery.

Shutting Down Here is a piece shaped like a universe, a heterogeneous world in which collides the multiple musical facets of Jim O'Rourke: instrumental writing, field recordings, electronic textures, cybernetic becomings, dynamic spaces, harmonic spaces, and silent spans.

This variety of approach, strangely, does not in any way weaken the coherence of the whole. This is the talent of Jim O'Rourke, a talent of composition, where all the sound elements compete and participate in stakes that exceed them and a common destiny, that is to say of an apparition.
