In, "A Deleuzian Noise/Excavating the Body of Abstract Sound," Sean Higgins writes: 
an idea, the proper operation of a body struck by the sensory but not sensible, is a noise caused by the sensory noise of the real.the noise of the faculties grating against one another attempting to recognize meets the sensory noise given the body from the outside. an idea is a new sensitivity to external and internal differentials. Where music would proscribe a model for easy recognition of the musical, an a-musical noise could engender a sonic idea unfit for such recognition: it is not expressed in terms of rhythm or harmony, only open-ended sonic diagrams. the proper sonic idea is not an abstraction that suppresses the empirical, but a diagram of sonic potential.

Pressure Diagram is an exploration of communication and  information dynamics in microscopic spaces. 
The score provides the performer a highly detailed, but at the same time unspecific set of interactions with their instrument. The score is not a stand in for definite sounds, but instead is a map or interface for each performer to explore and discover what exists within these spaces both on their own and as a group. The notation only concerns potential energy, lines of force, and vectors of activity, and the overall structure of the piece is built in real time through a system of contingencies between each performer.
