"I had the distinct feeling that all of the sounds were specially and spontaneously made for the occasion. This squares well with the controlled improvisation of the piece, and the strength of each of the players as improvisers. It was very much of the moment, from one moment to the next. They were listening and responding, it seemed, not only to each other and the constraints of the piece, but to the whole space and context."
