Programme Note

Composed for soloist (any instrument) and chamber ensemble (including electric guitar and electric bass). Over the course of a single, 22-minute movement, the ensemble performs from strictly composed parts, while the soloist's part is entirely improvised in response to suggestions from the composer: direct imitation is discouraged, while "use of noise (whatever that may mean in this context) is encouraged.
