dc.description.abstractMultiple temporal strata—very long sounds freely coexisting with quick bursts of activity. Repetition—but not repetition so much as recurrence, the recognition of objects and events reappearing in new contexts. Registral displacements—literal reachings up and over, inviting participation in new registral spaces. Very long events—approaching stasis. The trembling of bow on string as a player attempts to sustain a single very soft pitch. Or noticing the timbral difference that occurs when a single bowed note, pp, is transformed into a double stop. “The ambience of that mountain was the image–environment into which I composed my impressions of those qualities of sonic being.”1 Tending-toward structure and then radically (or subtly) disrupting where those structural implications may have seemed to have been heading. “[A]n infinite chain of disappearing links, each a path to something else.”2 Expansions and contractions—of intervallic spaces, of rhythmic gestures, of melodic cells, of densities, of registers.
