- Ancient Chinese Enclosing Game
- The following compositions are extractions from The Ancient Chinese Enclosing Game Compositional Matrix. Compositions are extracted from the matrix using a variety of pseudo-random operations.
- Matrix 1: For the first use of the matrix all sounds were derived from readings from the text of an unpublished novel, The Ancient Chinese Enclosing Game, which depicts a time when the game was played in earnest. With one exception, titles relate to the music at the discretion of the listener.
- Matrix 2: For the second use of the matrix all sounds were synthesized. Except for 4th and 5th extractions, the titles of the pieces were inspired by films in the Unseen Cinema series.
- Matrix 3: For the third use of the matrix most sounds were derived from recordings of a pin dropped onto a metal cookie sheet. Ambient sounds recorded from 5:30-6:30 am on a midsummer morning were edited and highly processed for one of the matrix layers. The inspiration for this iteration came from a preponderance of pieces at a recent conference composed in a "wall of noise" style. What happened to dynamic range? How about some quiet works!
