Description: Halloween 2001 is Track 2 on the MashUp Audio-Drama
"Holidays 2001 - Distribute Freely" album. The "Holidays 2001" CD was the first album Heder issued from her Studio on Cowperthwaite Street.See album cover
"Holidays 2001" is a Song Cycle of Six Songs looking to see how familiar war-horse-type pieces from various eras hold their own, interact, or even provide cover for some ordinary sound sources that I captured or re-created shortly before and during the three months after 9-11: unsolicited ads received on the Studio answering machine become a choir of male voices in the final song, Beethoven 7th slow movement; thruout, some short snippets of a few Pop Tunes from the Vietnam War era, my own "Anthem 9-11" etc, attempt to capture the feel of life in my neighborhood during those days.
With the addition of the voices of humpback whales and monkeys mid-piece, Neptunes written the year before becomes the central piece as it _ahem_ describes well the 9-11 theme of this album Halloween, the Track 2 Song heard here, is set to a Tchaikovsky Valse and is the Curtain opener for Track 4, Neptunes_ii.
