Vincent Eoppolo is an American composer from Wilmington, Delaware. Eoppolo’s compositions are a mix of various sound art traditions such as musique concrete, acousmatic music, electro-acoustic music and radio art. Eoppolo began composing and recording his compositions in the early 1980’s shortly after the development of MIDI and the introduction of affordable home computers. During the 1980’s, Eoppolo’s compositions were regularly featured on local college radio stations and his works were reviewed in Keyboard Magazine and Computer Music Journal in the 1990’s. Recently his works have been presented at the New York City Electro-Acoustic Music Festival, the Bushwick Open Studio Festival in Brooklyn, Utopie Sonore in Nantes, France and De Natura Sonorum in Rome, Italy. In addition to the live presentations, his compositions are regularly featured on new music radio programs in France, Italy, Canada, Ireland, Scotland and the USA.
Rituals de Transformation is cinema in the form of organized sound. The work is a meditation on the impact of technology on humanity. As the work begins, the listener is placed in the midst of a mysterious primal transformative ritual. As the ritual unfolds, the listener is presented with an array of sonic imagery that is both recognizable and other worldly. The ritual reaches it’s climax with the sound of a church bell and a thunderous tone cluster on piano. The work concludes with an ethereal soundscape that slowly morphs into the sound of an unintelligible digital voice emanating from a new hyper-being.

The album which first introduced me to ambient, although not the first one I owned... an experience that is both wistful and soothing, never too dark yet not suited to being described as joyful.
One of Hainbach's finest works. Dimitriy Dzyuba
