String Quartet No. 2 models a process of actively listening to an imaginary sonic environment. Continuous fluctuations and transformations in sound features trace a landscape of aural engagement. Over time, the modeled listening constructs a sense of the environment’s variegated identity through an always-shifting consciousness of foreground and background.
