███▓ This CD is published as a companion piece to ▓█
███▓ Michael SomoroffÆs installation Illumination I ▓█
███▓ originally created for the famed Rothko Chapel, ▓█
███▓ on the occasion of the installationÆs move to ▓█
███▓ The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in ▓█
███▓ Ridgefield, CT as the audio track to SomoroffÆs ▓█
███▓ Illumination, a multimedia installation at ▓█
███▓ BravinLee Programs in Chelsea, N.Y.C. during ▓█
███▓ the summer of 2007. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ From the liner notes: ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ Featuring seven musical poems, Illumination ▓█
███▓ will take you on a journey beyond your senses. ▓█
███▓ Push through the Curtain of reality amid a pure ▓█
███▓ harmonic series of high frequency sounds to a ▓█
███▓ world of inner reflection, Point, Line, Plane ▓█
███▓ depicts cosmic clouds of primal resonance, the ▓█
███▓ abstract and mathematical, PlatoÆs Cave, ▓█
███▓ whispers in a multitude of tongues, sonic sign ▓█
███▓ languages of the internal dialogue of pure ▓█
███▓ consciousness, and finally Temple, the sound of ▓█
███▓ a spiritual architectural space of ▓█
███▓ No-thingness. RichÆs subtle musical ▓█
███▓ interpretation of Illumination embraces the ▓█
███▓ sacred rituals and spaces of all, capturing the ▓█
███▓ universal essence of our post-modern culture. ▓█
███▓ It is a meditation piece for the mind and the ▓█
███▓ body. ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ A New Sacred Space: Michael SomoroffÆs ▓█
███▓ Illumination I ▓█
███▓ ▓█
███▓ To ôsee the light,ö to emerge at last from the ▓█
███▓ so-called ôDark Nightö: this is what Michael ▓█
███▓ SomoroffÆs Illumination I embodies. Whether it ▓█
███▓ be understood as the darkness and ignorance ▓█
███▓ that prevail in the Platonic cave, or the ▓█
███▓ painful ôimpotence, blankness, solitudeö ▓█
███▓ experienced by the soul ôimmersed in this dark ▓█
███▓ fire of purification,ö the point is the same: ▓█
███▓ how to escape the intellectual and emotional ▓█
███▓ suffering. In other words, Illumination I ▓█
███▓ satisfies the need for transcendence, even if ▓█
███▓ the spectator doesnÆt know that he or she has ▓█
███▓ the need. Illumination I articulates the ▓█
███▓ pressing need for transcendenceùall the more so ▓█
███▓ these ôdescendentalö daysùand thus invites the ▓█
███▓ spectator to satisfy the need through it. ▓█
███▓ Seeing the light in and through Illumination I ▓█
███▓ the spectator confirms that it is sacredùa ▓█
███▓ sacred space in which the spectator can ▓█
███▓ experience his or her inner sacredness. ▓█
███▓ Supposedly nothing is sacred in a secular ▓█
███▓ worldùwe are all profane in the ôiron cage,ö ▓█
███▓ the term Max Weber used to describe society ▓█
███▓ after it had been modernized by science and ▓█
███▓ technology (an ironically enlightenment, as ▓█
███▓ Weber suggests, for it made the world uniformly ▓█
███▓ gray)--but some works of art still seem sacred, ▓█
███▓ and demand a spiritual response. - Donald ▓█
