The music on this CD originated with a commission from John Zorn. That commission ultimately resulted in another composition for sextet (Twelve Minor, Avant Records 1998); support for the completion of this project came from Mr Zorn and Adam Vales. Pauline Oliveros pointed the way toward the shapes that brought this music to life. Kenny Wollesen played an earlier version of this material with us.
