Synopsis

Album Description
2010 five CD set. Alice In Wonderland, by Los Angeles, California composer and musician Randy Greif, is a gripping and imaginative telling of Lewis Carroll's classic story. Using electronics and altered acoustic sounds, along with more traditional instruments, Greif creates a dark and beguiling atmosphere that captures the listener's imagination. The spoken text is deconstructed into indecipherable phonemes, or laid into rhythmic, musical structures roughly approximating songs. At times, the sonic backdrop is used in a cinematic style behind electronically manipulated voices. Running about six hours, the work was created to move within the real-time cycles of a psychedelic experience. Although the original story has many layers of meaning, Greif intends this interpretation to include some that may be beyond the scope of the original, such as a little girl's shift from childhood to adolescence, and our species' evolution into technological beings. This is not your father's audiobook. Unless your father was Timothy Leary.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I dont understand how this says the original release date is 2000, when the first time i heard this was as early as 1991..regardless each track has a timeless quality that stretches your imagination not unlike the original book. Experimental, yet cohesive and by using the storyline, keeps you sucked in. Definately worth the money if you like original music.. electronic, or otherwise! Jump down the rabbit hole!!"
