    Story Behind the Song
    Drift represents the culmination of much consideration about writing microtonally conceived music for a fixed-pitch equal-tempered instrument. From a fundamental tone that very gradually drifts lower in pitch, derive the harmonics as they correspond to equal-tempered pitches at given points in time. This process creates a sequence that eventually includes every note on the piano and, depending upon the register of the fundamental, increases or diminishes like a living organism. The nature of the row suggested its presentation as a long melody with constantly changing register and octave doublings. Similarly, the definite tendency toward the piano’s short small strings facilitated an almost total avoidance of damping, thereby treating the piano like a giant santour or hammer dulcimer.
