Unaccompanied notes seem lonelier, as if they are searching for a companion.
Much of the music on DUST OF TIME (46'02") by Eleni Karaindrou possesses this
quality. It is unimaginably beautiful, full of lamenting string-borne melodies
that slow the heart before breaking it. The musical counterpoint to a motion
picture, DUST OF TIME has a separate life away from the imagery it was designed
to accompany. Scoring for a conventional chamber orchestra, Karaindrou
incorporates concepts from Classical, Minimalism and Ambient Music to realize
works of a pronounced inward quality. The music ranges from an elegant waltz and
lush string movement to slow-moving solos and duets whose recurring themes are
played through a most somber melodic contour. Although this CD soundtrack is an
essential element to the film of the same name, Karaindrou's music conjures up
scenes not related to any real place at all. Its withdrawn beauty and cold
memories maintain a direct connection to the emotions of the listener - and
transition best into silence.

Please tune into STAR'S END this weekend for music from Greek composer Eleni
Karaindrou and her CD DUST OF TIME
