The sound world of this fifteen-minute, four-movement work for percussion quartet revolves around twelve specially tuned metal pipes. The music’s various “sound objects” shift and spin through space and different time zones in a kind of timbral kaleidoscope. Michael Rosen commissioned the piece for his Oberlin Percussion Group; it is dedicated to him and the OPG.
