Programme note

For this piece, I was interested in presenting a number of similar musical gestures. I decided to use certain algorithms and codes to determine different textural aspects of the successive gestures but found the outcome to be in need of more impulsiveness. The resulting work comprises a mixture of process-based musical progressions and more intuitive interventions, which I hope gives both a sense of something working itself out, and the spontaneous.

Thank you to the Plus-Minus Ensemble.
