Work Overview

Spirals is excerpted directly from the original (April 1998) version of StarMist. Here, however, the relative volume level is raised considerably. The piece consists of a single gesture - (i) a long, sustained tone,
followed by (ii) an expanding pattern of pitches - repeated over and over again. These gestures are progressively superimposed upon one another, often transposed, and accumulate to form a complex texture
(a tangle, a 'mighty babble'!), whereupon the piece simply ends quite abruptly.
