Irish supercomposer Roger Doyle of Oizzo No fame (NM)

Babel is a large-scale musical structure making use of many technologies and music languages, with each piece of music being thought of as a 'room' or place within an enormous tower city.

Each track in the main section corresponds to a virtual architecture. The pieces are divided into two kinds: aural representations of actual spaces (e.g.The Dressing Room, The Stairwell, Mr. Brady's Room), and internalised dream spaces (e.g. The Room Of Rhetoric, Mall Fountain, the Spirit Levels, the Mansard childhood memory room).
Listeners can navigate their way differently through this virtual building at each hearing if they so wish.
