That the Sun Sucks Up

Synopsis: A sonic adaptation and comment on the character of Caliban from Shakespeare’s The Tempest (Act II, sc.ii) by Jacquelyn Brioux. She writes: "I wanted to compose a sonic response to Caliban’s looming presence in The Tempest through a modern-day interpretation, using modern-day instruments and soundscapes. The idea was to create a lush, looming, distortion-filled and fairly chaotic ensemble of sounds that was reflective of Caliban; in this way, the sonic would parallel Caliban’s presence throughout the play" (http://www.canadianshakespeares/ca/multimedia/audio/a_jacquelyn_brioux.cfm)
