The Persistence of Memory by Dave Hall

The Persistence of Memory is based on the well known Salvador Dali painting of the same name. The painting, which features Dali’s famous “melting clocks” is one of the definitive works of the Surrealist Movement in art. It evokes a number of themes that lend themselves will to the music, especially the atrophy of time and shape. Time, pitch, and timbre all “melt” and re-form throughout the piece.
