Ambient textures and active patterns are produced by setting into motion numerous melodic phrases performed over a common pulse. The repeating figures all vary in time signatures built off of different metric modulations, and therefore, interact in a way that is repetitive, yet never actually repeats.
This music attempts to be minimal from a distance, and obsessively complicated up close.
