Book of Eternal Brass
from Palimpsestus by Cláudio de Pina
about
This piece depicts an imaginary realm and the slow forging of the Book of Brass by Urizen. The sound objects are several recordings of factories and industrial apparatus, mimicking a giant blacksmith's forge. This process is a cathartic metaphor on the idea of progress and technology, versus the society and environment.

"Lo! I unfold my darkness, and on
This rock place with strong hand the Book
Of eternal Brass, written in my solitude:" (BLAKE, Ur 4:34-40)
