Notes

Taken from a radio broadcast.

This is a near complete version of this ongoing work as recorded live in 1987. Although a superficial listening of any portion may lead to the assumption of an uneventful piece, hearing the work as a whole reveals anything but. Many consider it the most seminal work by a 20th century composer. Especially climactic are the sound achieved in the 3rd and 4th hour when the harmonics blend to create incredible sonic overtones.
