FROM THE TIME OF DREAMS-JON KELIEHOR

Time of Dreams comprises both recent music (2006) and selections from as early as 2000. Most of this music has been created for contemporary dance. The music belongs to the performance, and is usually kept by the company for future use. Finally now, it is finding it’s way to public release.

Returning to the swirling, fantasy music of the London Diorama, these pieces open doors to magic territories and dream frontiers. Subcontinent and Dreaming are new pieces that have never had previous performance. Ocean of Dreams (2003) is from the CD of the same title, originally written for James Broughton’s Androgyne Journal (1996). Dream Landscapes is also from the Ocean of Dreams CD. Domaine I was created for the Gamelan Naga Mas production Float Sound Objects (2005). Walking On The Stars has been released on the Luminous CD, Create Music (2000). Falling Up premiered at The Arches, Glasgow (2002) for a Signy Jakobsdottir/Susan Worsfold performance of the same title.

Born in 1941, Jon Keliehor’s music for contemporary dance, ballet, theatre and film has produced a unique catalogue of percussion based composition. He has created works for London Contemporary Dance Theatre, Royal Ballet, Lindsay Kemp Theatre, Theatre of Lies, DanzaHoy in Caracas, Gamelan Pacifica, Seattle, Pat Graney Dance, Gamelan Naga Mas, Glasgow, Royston Maldoom and many others.
