FM synthesis, phase vocoding, and granular synthesis techniques were used in the creation of the composition. John Perrine , for whom the work was written for and dedication to, was used as the model for the sampling procedures. All saxophone sounds that are used on the tape portion of the composition were derived from recordings of his performances of improvisatory excerpts, which were extracted and manipulated using various computer programs. As the performer settles into his or her practice routine, the sound of traffic becomes more ethereal and is incorporated into the music that he or she is practicing.
Fantasy becomes motive to develop within the reality of the performer's existence.
Distorted traffic sounds, radio signals, jazz fragments, and the saxophonist's own sounds become a enriched tapestry of memories, impressions and influences. Near the end of piece, the performer is shocked back into his mundane reality only remembering fleeting images of what could or what will be. John Perrine premiered works by Kari Juusela , Aaron Johnson and William Price . He has performed at regional and national North American Saxophone Alliance conferences. Perrine has also performed with the Stetson University Wind Ensemble playing Paul Creston 's Concerto .
