The piece was originally composed by Dickinson in Paris then evolved through a five stage rehearsal process in which the author worked in tandem with the chamber orchestra to refine and define the composition. 'Reditions' is simply a beautiful piece of music. I thoroughly recommend you visit Dickinson's web page to listen to the work in it's entirety.
The composition was premièred at the launch of Artist Voice Network at the Nottingham Lakeside Arts Centre (UK) on the 21st July 2010. - POSTED BY RUDI ARAPAHOE * 01.08.2009 Arapahoe music has been running in a 47 night theatre production of Kunio Shimizu's “Gakuya (Dressing Room)” in Theatre Tram, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo.

04.06.2008 ’Echoes From One To Another’ has made it's way from Helix Branch to Japanese HMV, Tower Records, Amazon and independents; teleported by Symbolic Interaction's Kentaro Togawa. The record embraces melodic composition and underscores it with spirituality, darkness and wonder. The strong European feel is voiced through harp, soprano, piano, violin, guitar, vintage synthesizers, field recordings and an array of antique electronics; given life by gifted collaborators under my ghostly direction. A selection of reviews of the album can be read here. The CD is available to purchase on-line from Helix Branch (UK & world wide), Symbolic Interaction (Japan) and digitally though Beatport. Recently added to the 'gallery' section of this website is a photographic collaboration with the artist Piero Roi. Dante Alighieri's journey into the afterlife 'The Divine Comedy' was drawn upon as a rich reservoir of inspiration during the creation of 'Echoes From One To Another'. Their interconnections are made explicit by the haunting series of images Piero captured of me in the forest. Astonishingly each image is the product of a single analogue exposure. The artist is currently exhibiting the images alongside other shadows from his past in 'Art Cover' at Silvy Bassanese Contemporary Art, Biella (Italy) - POSTED BY RUDI ARAPAHOE *
