Symphony no. 1, Mvt. 1

This movement is composed of manifold vignettes in a stream of consciousness way. Think of a conversation between an ensemble of personalities (or more precisely, points of view), each perspective going through the process of delineation, integration, assimilation, and sublation from all the others as its individuality asserts (and, through the process, concurrently affirms) itself. There are interjections, varying degrees of harmony and disharmony, variations within variations, use of aleatoric and randomization techniques, alternatingly stark and enormous layered rhythms, elements of the grotesque, modularity...

Special thanks to my Uncle John Shafer for unfailing support, and I mean from all perspectives, providing the tough love where applicable...I'm crazy aboout you, you're my family. Your belief put wings on my heart.
