Finalist in the Ryan Leach April 2024 Composing Competition. 

I wanted to try to capture the feeling of approaching the island of Mont Saint-Michel and seeing that majestic structure rising up out of the water. I started with a short motivic idea on a solo flute as we first spot the island on the horizon. As the full size and beauty of it is revealed upon our approach, this idea is carried forward into the entire orchestra, finally heralding our arrival to the island.

The word stochastic – from the Greek stochos, meaning aim or guess – refers to mathematical models and processes that have an element of randomness. Stochastic music thus refers to music that has been created through stochastic models. Anyone who is familiar with the concept of stochastic music is certainly familiar with the Greek universal genius Iannis Xenakis (1922–2001) – among other things, a pioneer in stochastic music that's commonly based on stochastic processes found in nature, such as the chaotic behaviors of gas molecules (Pithoprakta, 1955–56).

While it is certainly possible, like Xenakis, to make music that "faithfully" adheres to the outcome of such processes, they are not used in as direct a sense in this work. Instead, large quantities of stochastic music have been generated through computer algorithms (nearly 2 ½ hours of music) and the most interesting parts – in the composer's opinion – have been seized and developed through arguably the most enigmatic stochastic process known to humanity, namely human intuition. Therefore, this can be called a metastochastic work.
