The last in a trilogy of pieces begun with the setting (twenty three
carapi) of (mostly) South African Poems found in the collection
Carapace*23
The metrical structure of the flute piece (carapace 23.7) that grew out
of the choral piece retained - rather like a street layout that remains
in the aftermath of war, forced removal or planned re-development.
Areas wiped clean provide space for the new.
Surviving fragments reconstructed or developed in ways not previously
possible or imagined.
The process of erasure takes on a fascination of its own - "what to do
with all this newly liberated territory?"
Alongside the live musicians recorded readings from Rem Koolhaas'
S,M,L,XL (Globalization, Singaporesongline: 30 years of Tabula Rasa) ;
Clive Chipkin's Deurmekaar Johannesburg (Township - , Post -War
Johannesburg) and Karen Press' The home that you built, an accumulative
poem used by Lien Botha in her contribution to the District Six Culture
Project.
kara p 2 .00 3
A studio (midi) realisation of the piece incorporating fragments from
