Something which wanders and falls

Program Notes

Something which wanders and falls explores both modular and linear development of musical material through time. Within each section, each instrument presents as its own character within a dense texture. This texture is extended so that the listener may shift their focus to the various relationships between each character. Throughout these moments the pitch material evolves gradually, traversing a chain of each prime form heptachord. Then the texture suddenly thins and is interrupted by an abrupt change in orchestration, forcing the listener to grow accustomed to a new and unfamiliar sound world.
