Additional Information
Curved Form (No. 10) is a singluar wall of sound. Starting in the depths of the orchestra, waves of sound are gradually layered up creating a constant ebb and flow. As the music rises higher and higher, the waves get progressively shorter until the whole orchestra comes into alignment creating a sudden apex in the piece. From that point on, the piece retraces its steps and slowly returns to the low C with which it started.
