Abstract
Spirit Redux is an abstracted reconfiguration and interpretation of the experience of the spiritual in Mahler’s symphonies. It is a multichannel generative composition that foregrounds the moments of stasis that punctuate these works, arguably less memorable moments characterised by a fleeting sense of detachment or release but which often function as the understated apex for change and transformation.
