Faces and Intensities

This work reveals its beginning and ending only as transient moments, without any sense of rest. The movements are slow and methodical. Sounds are constantly moving through space, continually multiplying, ceaselessly establishing connections between diverse gestures, elements, particles, and dimensions, a chain of varying speeds with accelerations, transformations, and changes in direction.

In this composition, the main sound sources were drops of water and other abstract sounds taken from previous compositions.
