ANTENNO

Thematically, the title of this composition references the idea that the creation of a work of art, or anything, is one continuous process with the creation of the universe. This piece gives a great deal of control to the performers through improvised sections, aleatoric elements, and even the length of each section — which is determined by the musicians in the moment.
