The text for Dust came to me in a season of reflection. As educators and mentors to the generations that come after us, we have a responsibility to provide tools so that others can shape their future. Overtime, it can become easy to lose one's personal vision for one's self when influenced by so many outside factors. When the pressure builds, it can almost feel like a self-reckoning; an opportunity to build ourselves again. Though we are influenced by our surroundings, we are all unique in our purpose and design!These questions of self-reflection came first:How much of me flows from their blood?How much of me is built of their flesh?How much of me is manifested from their dreams?And just like our own identities, the rest of the poem begin to take shape. I hope that this text speaks to you wherever you are in your discovery and journey to your most authentic self.DustI am rubbleCarved into my ruins, you will find my ancestry interwoven with my identityHow much of me flows from their blood?How much of me is built of their flesh?How much of me is manifested from their dreams?The only way to my truth is through my foundationI rage against those who would dare covet this sacred spaceI am the temple and the monumentThis is holy ground.I must demolish myself.Tear down the walls that have held up your visions and destroyed mine.I must restore myself in my own image.And when the dust settles, you can see my bones.Pillars of strength, marble, and earthWalls painted with my blood, cracked with time, polished like my skin(Golden)I will not be complete, but I will be homethe dust settlesAnd we build again—Coty Raven Morris      .

Tears of Dust is composed in memory of Princess Galyani Vadhana who passed away on 2 January 2008. It was a great lost for Thailand as well as the music society for the entire country. Her Royal Highness was interested in all types of music and drama, especially classical music. After she passed away, there was a mourning period of 100 days and the whole nation would wear black for 15 days. Tear of Dust is commissioned by the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra for the memorial concert. She was the patron of the and a great supporter of the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra. Her presence on the classical music scene was ubiquitous. The loss of Princess Galyani is greatly impact to the Classical Music in Thailand. It is a metaphor to compare the people with the dust because dust came from many various sources but sharing the same element as a dry object. In this case even a dry smallest dust cries for the lost of Her Royal Highness.

Ich denke beim Komponieren immer an Horer. Ich selbst bin mein erster und oftmaliger Horer. Aber zuallererst denke ich immer an Tone. Sie stehen mir gegenuber, auch in ihren angereicherten Formen als Klange, Gerausche, Positionen. In diesem Stuck gibt es einige Tone, deren Lautstarken nicht ihre eigenen sind, sondern mit denen sie uns Horer um Aufmerksamkeit bitten, ja sie geradezu erflehen. Ihr Hauptselbst, meine ich, ist ihre Lange. Nur wenn diese Langen mit offenem Horen empfangen werden, erfahrt man Charakter, Blickrichtung, Sehnsuchte, Tonwelten. Daneben gibt es eine Menge eleganter, fluchtiger Tone, eine Art Frequenzhupfer: Engelsstaub. Ich begegnete diesem Begriff kurz vor Beginn meiner Kompositionsarbeit in Naomi Kleins erschreckendem Buch ,,Die Schock-Strategie, in dem zu Beginn die Psychoschockversuche (CIA / USA und Dr. E. Cameron / Montreal) zur totalen Zerstorung von Personlichkeit geschildert werden. Zu diesen Entpragungs-Versuchen gehort(e) auch ein Drogencocktail mit LSD und PCP (Phenyl-Cyclidin-Piperidin). Dieses PCP ist auch als Angel Dust bekannt. Es stellte sich heraus, dass Entpragung mit anschliessender Um- und Neupragung nicht moglich war. Nur katastrophale Personlichkeitszerstorung. Diese hat allerdings zur Entwicklung heutiger amerikanischer (nur?) Foltertechniken Zentrales beigetragen. Dagegen ist Musik ein Klacks! Sie hat eine andere Realistik als die Realitat. Das beinhaltet ihre Freiheit! Zeigen baut auf! Alle Ereignisse des Stuckes sind in eine Massstabstruktur von 80x13 eingesperrt und bewegen sich doch dauernd in erneuerter Teilung. Die harmonische Grundstruktur fallt mit der syntaktischen Gliederung nicht immer zusammen. Tone verlieren dadurch ihre Deutlichkeit. Sie gewinnen entlokalisierte Beweglichkeit. Und ein Einsperrmodell, in dem ein Ereignis (A) an Beginn und Ende (B1 / B2) umklammert ist, wird zum polyphonen Bewegungsprozess des Entgleitens und Entkommens. Realitat als Anstoss musikalischer Realistik. Dialektisch? Ansprechpartner?? Ihr Zeuge, lieber Horer!!! Nicolaus A. Huber (14. Januar 2008)
