My interest in permutations led me to the practice of method ringing, a rich old tradition in which church bells are rung in long and complex patterns generated from simple rules. I use the foundational pattern called Plain Hunt on 6, or Plain Hunt Minor. Instead of church bells, I play samples of a gamelan gender in pelog, arranged as two overlapping six-note scales. The bell samples are routed through a system of asynchronous loops of different lengths, creating constantly changing layers that blur the underlying rhythm and structure of the bell pattern. Sequential events become a probabilistic texture.

This is a performance piece, so each rendition will be different. In fact, this is a short version made for festival submissions. There will also longer versions for other contexts using different bell patterns and looper configurations.
