Track 1 From the CD: Soundstreams
Philippines © 1999

Tzadik
New York, NY © 2001

“In this work 100 performers, each playing on separate bamboo musical instruments (whistle-flute, clapper, buzzer, scraper and sticks), produce complex sounds placed in opposition to two kinds of vocal sound waves: a mixed group of 100 voices utter high and low pitches in dense and thin combinations while 5 male vocal quintets chant, half-sing and half-mumble disjointed phonemes.” (Excerpt from Gongs and Bamboo CD insert)

Nyuma
From the materials used for Listen To My Music exhibit

“Written for 36 voices and various Asian instruments, the piece is based on the divergent concepts of pneuma – from the Greek and Judeo-Christian “elemental breath” and “spirit” to the neumes of Medieval western music. The composition is structured on the basis of the Eastern yin-yang principle and acoustical wave formation.  Written in 1983.” (Excerpt from the souvenir program of Ugnayan)
