Composer's Note: "Permutation Every 1934" is built upon a text generated via chance operations by the composer and is dedicated to Jackson Mac Low. The text process resulted in uni que word juxtapositions and phrases free of human communication intent.

(In doing so, might it become "poetry"?) Show more
