This work, written between April and June of 1996 is electroacoustic ambient . Sounds were processed from natural sources and mixed in the digital studio using samplers and computers. The opening minute introduces the gesture-types and the pitch centre that forms the majority of the work.
Events appear from nowhere, accelerate towards the ear and recede into the distance.
At 0'54 one such event cascades into the first real occurrence of the drone that dominates the work and contributes towards its ambient feel. Gestures are developed over this drone for another minute, until the drone becomes lighter and at 2'06 section A proper begins. The gestured material melds with the drone through a process of convolution. A timbral analysis is made of a small section of the drone material and is mapped onto the gestures, resulting in a hybrid that, when cross-faded with the gestures themselves, provides a link between drone and gesture. The passage from 3'55 to 4'34 is preparation for more aggressive material.
