Susan Alexjander’s call and response inspired soundscape, Transitus Nova Magnificat, originated as a collaboration, modeled and guided by Sheila Spremulli’s eco-spiritual insights. The music flows (at a comfortable walking pace) through five distinct stages designed to reflect the body’s way of taking shape during embryogenesis.

It opens with an introduction and then invites you to listen, as if in a womb, while you cross sound thresholds meant to evoke conception, implantation of the egg, the forming of the heart, and final arrival into full embodiment, or birth; before resting in the arms of the Nova Magnificat – the possibility of a new Earth story.  We hear natural sounds such as water or air, but also the sounds of turbulence, still points and silences, and spin.  These are basic processes found in nature…the way things flow and transform… as our consciousness responds to them.  Some sounds are designed to be mysterious in order to reach subtler levels of perception.  The body/heart/mind is encouraged to feel stimulated but soothed and comforted at the same time.

In this short video on how to experiment with dancing the Transitus LABÔ , Sheila Spremulli points to the center of her maze-like labyrinth and tells us the way to the new story will be through the heart.  Mazes are designed to confuse, confound, and leave you feeling alone, uncertain, lost, and spinning in circles. Spin is one of the more-than-human ‘voices’ composer Susan Alexjander gives us in Transitus Nova Magnificat.  Spins, like spiraling, are messengers of change. Susan and Sheila are thankful for having shared in the collaboration that resulted in Transitus Nova Magnificat and many months later, in Sheila’s Transitus LABÔ.

Fluid Universe Soundtrack

Featuring soundtrack “Rock Piece” by Susan Alexjander. The music was created from sampled sounds of granite rocks (Banff Center, Canada) being rolled, scraped etc.  (The gong was a pot-lid from the ceramic studio). Fluid Universe is a short film by Susan Plum describing the properties of glass, that can change from one meta form to another.

Milky Way Goes On Walkabout

Milkyway Goes on Walkabout

Drawing by Susan Plum

Milky Way Goes On Walkabout is an immersive installation being created by composer Susan Alexjander and visual artist Susan Plum.

Our Milky Way houses the Galactic Center, the Cosmic Womb, from which everything is born. As we witness the chaos created by humankind, we believe the Milky Way, our cosmic mother, has decided she has had enough and leaves her rightful place in the sky to go on a vision quest in order to help us re-discover our True North.
