Kuepfer Symbiose Jan 19 2016 Excerpt

manual tape edit with percussion; exploring rhythm with randomness using concepts inspired by the sounds of wildlife, the act of creating rhythms and melodies from the collection of sound within an environment. While listening to one's surroundings in nature you begin to hear the communication of sounds following no perceived human concepts of rhythm, on closer listen you begin to hear patterns and cohesion of sounds - this piece attempts to re-create these concepts using percussion and bells.
