Quotes
"This piece....... is remarkable
for its cunning construction. The basic melodic ideas are put together
so as to create a constantly evolving texture when the 3- part phasing
occurs. Although the ideas are simple the piece never becomes boring. The
overall effect is delightfully trancifying"
Composer's Note
An intricate pattern of identical complex cross-rhythms repeat every 30 seconds, producing a trancifying effect. Because the composition takes 4 hours and 17 minutes to complete all the possible note/pattern combinations, the music unfolds and presents itself to the listener in a much more gradual and subtle fashion than most commercial musics. The listener is allowed to explore the ever changing textures for multiple melodic possibilities rather than being fed only one choice."
The price is only $30 (retail) Australian (including free postage within Australia) and $40 Australian (including airmail for the rest of the world). And remember it will be a limited edition package only.
