Abstract

"This work seeks to convey suggestions of memories- sometimes vague, sometimes intertwined as in a half sleep and sometimes slightly more substantial, perhaps of visual images or associated emotions. The pervading mood is one of fleeting reminiscence and delicacy. Techniques include long held sounds, brief, but often repeated and seemingly unrelated ideas interrupting each other, and their occasional drawing together to allude to moments of greater substance." -- Don Kay
