The title was inspired by statuettes of the Apis Bull, most of which have in their old age taken on a greenish hue. Specially selected Apis Bulls were extremely sacred at certain points in the long history of Ancient Egypt, and are believed to have been buried in an underground temple complex, the Serapeum at Saqqara. When the temple was discovered in the 19th century, they found something very interesting: twenty-five enormous, meticulously crafted granite sarcophagi. All but one were found empty. Green, or beautiful in green consists of three separate sound-worlds. The outer worlds were inspired, in a broad and allegorical way, by rays of light cutting into the darkness in ancient temples and animating the spirits and gods within. The mid-section is the raging spirit of the Apis Bull, confined after death to his granite box, his horns catching its smooth interior surfaces. As rays of light fall once more, he becomes an aspect of Osiris, dematerializing as he makes his journey to the other world across the sky.
