The Sibyl Cycle (1994 - 2004)
The Sibyl Cycle is a collection of works based on ancient Sibylline chants and prophecies for solo voices, instrumental soloists, ensembles and spatialized electronics. WE ARE ALL SIBYLS interactive electroacoustic opera/installation is a contemporary adaptation of an ancient form of music-drama, which emphasized spectacular processions, music and drama to exploit architectural spaces with pageantry and display. WE ARE ALL SIBYLS reenacts the spectacle of the liturgical ritual while evoking a confessional interior dialogue through the used of spatialized electronics.
