| Manna23468A near-minimalist piece with patterns that repeat/mutate at 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 beat intervals. Although the 9 individual voices are minimal and repetitive, rhythmic and textural complexity is introduced by frequent, independent changes in each of the voices. These changes in instrument type alternating with silence occur at random intervals every few bars. The original generative music produced using KoanPro software from SSEYO can be heard on the website http://pages.hotbot.com/arts/diastereo/index.html |
