This work continues my recent exploration of "field recordings" as a musical source material. A recording of the sonic environment outside Tokyo was processed electronically to create a polyrhythmic web of sound. In this sense the work echoes the Sen no Ongaku (linear music) style explored by Jo Kondo in the 1970s (also similar to the opening of Joji Yuasa's A Winter Day). In recent times I have developed processes for transcribing sound into scores that draw out prominent auditory events and notate them, allowing live performers to engage ephemeral and complex sounds in a precise manner.
