Pro­gramme Note

This piece deals with my inter­est in both tran­si­tional musi­cal mate­ri­als and the tran­si­tive nature of sound itself, which dis­ap­pears almost as soon as it is cre­ated. I have con­ceived the form of the piece as an explo­ration of tran­si­tion, pre­sent­ing numer­ous sounds in motion as they come into and out of exis­tence in time, and show­ing them from sev­eral per­spec­tives so as to allow the effects of time and tran­si­tion to change the very nature of the sounds and sug­gest new meanings.
