The Giant is Speaking Through You takes its title from a strange dream concerning initiation into Zen Buddhism, that I experienced the night before visiting Japan in 1991. The music attempts to recreate the sensations and dimensions of the dream's images. The structure of the work is based on the shape of the Ryoanji Stone Garden in Kyoto, that was mentioned in the dream.
First performed by Paul Tanner 21st September 1991 Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts.
