​

Composed for Toronto's very talented 'Hemispheres' ensemble, this work uses stochastic ('random') procedures applied to rhythm as the basis of for extended improvisatory passages to produce a rather warped 'big band' piece.

The work was commissioned by the Hemipheres ensemble through the assistance of the Ontario Arts Council.
