about

silent revolution is a scrolling score for bass flute, bass clarinet, double bass and electronics. It was first performed by Cat Hope, Lindsay Vickery, Mark Cauvin and Jon Watts at the concert/broadcast Polysonics at ISEA2013 at Studio 22 ABC Ultimo, Sydney. The work reflects on the recent work of journalists Chris Hedges, Jeremy Scahill, Alan Weisman and others. In particular, the opening of the score is a collage of images from Camden, New Jersey, one of the places Chris Hedges refers to as a sacrifical zone, where "where those discarded as human refuse are dumped, along with the physical refuse of postindustrial America".

The second part of the score focuses on the displaced: encampments of Occupy, refugees of wars in Mali and Chad and the destroyed face of Lebanon.

The final section shows images of a proposed WIPP ( Waste Isolation Pilot Plant), described by Alan Weisman as a "scarecrow to posterity" for the storage of waste so toxic that "the U.S. Department' of Energy is legally required to dissuade anyone from coming too close for the next 10,000 years" (p. 209).
