Program Notes
Shifting Sands was written immediately after Funk Loops and uses similar forces in a stark minimalist style. It opens mysteriously with free-floating sounds that outline the melodic material of the piece, before it is propelled into a motoric section with close canons and tight interlocking patterns.
