    Performance notes:
  • each member of the quartet should wear headphones to hear the click track
  • the electronics and the ensemble should blend as much as possible so that the effect is like one composite instrument
  • the saxophones could be slightly amplified so that their sound and the electronics are projected in the same acoustic space
  • 2 beats in the click track are heard before entrances at measure 1
  • all notes should be equal in dynamics unless otherwise specified — however, the entrances of each new note should be brought out slightly at first to emphasize the composite melody — breathe when necessary, but only right before note changes
