Terry Fox, The Labyrinth. Scored for 11 Cats

LP, Choose Records A-musik 2009

"The Labyrinth Scored for 11 Cats" (1977) is one of Fox's many works
to be inspired by the structure of the labyrinth found on the floor of the
famous medieval cathedral of Chartres. For this work, Fox translated
the 552 Steps, 11 concentric rings and 34 turns of the floor mosaic
into a mesmerizing composition of recorded cat purrs, a sonic phenomenon
which is still not fully understood.

The "purrs" resonate in a shimmering wall of sound like in an uncanny
feline orchestra. This LP recording is based on a digital version that Fox
produced in 2003 in the sound studio of the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne.
