Reptiles and Wildfire
1989
Gregory Whitehead
Soundspaces of water, rain, and wild fire transport the listeners to a place where "The Heat is heavy, but soft. And all that moves, moves quietly." A dream-like piece of great sensual beauty and lyrical power in which nature and reptiles and humans merge. "It's hot and wet. And above my head I see mangrove, gumbo, limbo and cocoa plum. Where are we?..." Created for New Music America '89, Miami.
