Additional Information

wood.pulse works with limited pitch material and instead focuses on gradually evolving, propulsive rhythmic patterns, and timbral alterations to what is predominantly a repetitive stream of the pitch class: A (and the various resulting microtones at either side). The way I was thinking about treating the material for this piece is quite similar to the use of audio processes like filtering and modulation, which are often used to stimulate subtle modifications to a sustained or recurring sound source in electronic music.
