"4/8/05 from a dream, nyc – i tried to order "oder delias" in a restaurant, which i remember as rice forms floating in broth. the phrase "oder delias" running through my head over and over through-out the dream, even as i awoke it was with me for awhile. (also in the dream, the waitress i was talking to said not to order the "oder delias" because it was too expensive. i remember now it was $9.)"
When i wrote to heribert that i wanted to title my cd "oder delias", he replied "how is the title to understand?, oder = is a german word (engl. or?), delias – are these kind of butterflies? " as i have worked on many projects translating languages that i don't understand into english through the suggestions of their sounds or spellings; i thought heribert's meanings of my dream words seemed perfect – thus the title "oder delias or butterflies".
the main source material for the sound was a beautiful bamboo flute made for me by bernhard günter that arrived in the mail around the time of heribert's invitation to make this cd. i've also added a few other sounds which are not from my dreams, nor rice forms, and most likely not butterflies ...
