Perceptual resonance
During recent sound research in the FM (frequency modulation) synthesis technique long familiar to me, I became fascinated by slow changes of spatial FM sounds.
That slowness, combined with a certain simplicity, brought me into a state that I would describe as a "perceptual resonance". A resonance with the properties of slowness and simplicity.
A curious state of alertness mixed with calmness. This state is strangely uninterrupted when, in this composition, the sound image suddenly changes completely.
Ceremony
Some elements of the sounds used remind me of sounds I heard at a fire ceremony I happened to experience at a temple in Nikko (Japan) in 2019. Both the sound aspect of that ceremony and the fascination at its performance left a strong impression on me.
That perceptual resonance, together with this ceremony experience explain the name of this composition to which a second part will be added later.
