garden of eden

for piano and electronics

about

"The Garden of Eden is described in the Bible, the Torah and the Quran as a garden with beautiful trees bearing all sorts of fruits, where all the world's animals lived side by side with the first human beings — a terrestrial paradise.

To me, the gradually emerging ambience of Garden of Eden conjures up images of that terrestrial paradise, as well as whatever locations in today's world could be described with the same moniker."

— Eli Tausen á Lava
