World Premiere: 24 Hour Drone - Basilica Hudson, New York - April 29th, 2018

Premiered by: Randy Gibson - Earth Gong

Composed to be performed as the sun rises or sets, a continuous tone emerging from a large gong slowly builds and according to the principals of Harmonic Time. Harmonic Resonators continuously add new overtones from The Four Pillars complicating the perceptual situation as the work grows to an all-encompassing wash of shimmering harmonies.
