Adrift & Afloat

18/1/2002 for gamelan (or anything)

Notes

The graphic above is all the notation needed in performance. For instructions as to how to play this on gamelan, or similar, see the full .pdf version of the score. One of my best and most versatile pieces of material, playable by non/musicians, on almost any group of instruments capable of dynamics. (There is also a live electronic visualisation of this piece, which I should try to get a video of up here one day…)

Duration 4'33
