Details

Flute instruments similar to those used in Transversal Meditation create an 18 measure canon, which battles its way through a choir of siren-like glissando instruments. A droning bass marches underneath.

Scored for 2 flutes, bass, and 3 glissando instruments, this short piece features a great deal of control for each part. The score is well-commented, explaining how the parameters of sound were created. There are quite a few tables which must be loaded, so rendering the composition with winsound takes a long time. Using consound, it only takes about 30 seconds.
