The work was commissioned by Radio France and produced at CNMAT and IRCAM. It will be featured in the upcoming Présences 1999 Festival in Paris. L'autre represents a deeply inwoven collaboration between two brothers. The piece begins with the origins and hopeful emergence of consciousness out of the unconscious--the birth of language (the logos) out of a primordial welter of sounds and syllables. The work traces the development of this Ur-relationship through the usurpation and domination of the unconscious by consciousness, the feminine by the masculine. This conflict is portrayed as a modern fear of "The Other"-- race, culture and gender. The composition is scored for Mezzo-soprano/narrator, horn, two percussion, harp, and tape.
