Challenging work for college and above. As name implies, this piece uses extensive independent dynamics and muted timbres to achieve a variety of moving timbral textures. Flowing through five distinct sections, the intervallic structures and complex rhythms create moving sound blocks and contours of evolving timbral and percussive variety. View page pdf.
