The title of this work, and the spoken and sung text derive from Shakespeare.’s play The Tempest.

In th’air or th’earth was realized at the Electroacoustic Music Studios of the University of Birmingham, UK, between 1996 and ’97. I would like to acknowledge the assistance of Lys Appleby and Selina Ross, who provided the vocal material.
