Boxes of Music (2008) is scored for amplified tam tam, eleven music boxes, two very thin splash cymbals, two coffee cans, and electronics. The title lacks creativity, but is descriptive. The piece is a miniature sound-mass composition inspired by the so-called sound-mass compositions by composers such as György Ligeti, Iannis Xenakis, and others. The arch form of the work is easily identifiable and is built simply from the accumulation and then dissipation of sounds, the deconstruction and then re-emergence of familiar melodies. This is process music. | Boxes of Music (2008) is scored for amplified tam tam, eleven music boxes, two very thin splash cymbals, two coffee cans, and electronics.
