	A slow promenade through a garden of wonders. A piece inspired by esoteric myths of Buddhist heavens where millions of lotus petals clash and produce harmonies that are always in tune. On the more human level, this piece is an exploration of irrational tunings designed to create consonances with inharmonic timbres, in this case FM synthesized replicas of bell timbres. None of the chords used in Jardin have any relationship to the harmonic series. Instead, each chord and the tuning are designed to produce relative spectral consonances that can seem just as in tune as harmonic tunings. Composed January 2000, Brooklyn, NY.
