fixed electroacoustic sounds

Program Note

Fugue states are characterized by temporary amnesia and unpredictable wandering, similar in many respects to musical fugues.

Under these conditions many people struggle to piece together memories of events prior to the dissociative onset, or they construct completely artificial memories or persona.

Generally, these effects are temporary and confined to a single episode.

Until the dissociative state has passed, however, those confused about identify and/or past events will experience a wide range of emotional states.

Eventually, the effects of the fugue will fade, but, as old memories return, memories of the state itself are often lost.
