The second piece is written as an experiential representation of coming on to the main quadrangle from the aforementioned path. I got excited about this particular route because it looks like a written-out musical gesture—something tautly contained that suddenly splits open. This in mind, I wanted there to be a shocking, energetic transition between the two tracks. The bell noises become abstracted even further, bouncing every-which-way atop a bed of string chords. In the middle of the piece, there’s a transition from metallic textures to a more organic-palate of nature noises, culled from self-recorded whistles and vocalizations. All other sounds in the two works are taken from Noteperformer samples.
