It came from a sad dream.
It has some rather low amplitudes toward the beginning with some very high amplitudes at the end. So, set your amplitudes accordingly.
 I worry that i will never be able to compose a better piece than this one...........

The Haunted Garden

Artifact III

04 Artifact 4

The beast. Almost 20 minutes long. Some of my colleagues thought that I had lost it and gone astray. It marked a definitive break from my earlier immersion in deployments of the aggregate. Begun in 1984 and finally finished around 1995. It develops elementally simple motives through a variety of transformations and in the terminal section gradually descends down to a reiterated D major triad which is progressively embellished with neighbor-note motions based on two inverse-related Fibonacci sequences.  The flowing patterns reminded me of a poem in Arabic which I saw inscribed on a wall tile in the Alhambra which I recall reading: "Hail, O Thou joyful fabric, which is like the Spring when the rain falls".....

Artifact VIII - 7-14 - 2024

String Quartet  fin-1-29-25

Written over 40 years ago and never performed, it is a setting of a poem by the German poet, Stefan George, invoking an augury by observing the flight of birds.

Weisse Schwalben sah ich fliegen
Schwalben schnee und silberweiss
Sah sie sich im Winde wiegen
In dem Winde hell und heiss

Bunte Häher sah ich hüpfen
Papagei und Kolibri
Durch die Wunderbäume schlüpfen
In dem Wald der Tusferi

Grosse Raben sah ich flattern
Dohlen schwarz und dunkelgrau
Nah am Grunde über Nattern
Im verzauberten Gehau 

Schwalben seh ich wieder fliegen
Schnee und silberweisse Schar
Wie sie sich im Winde wiegen
In dem Winde kalt und klar
