Additional Information
52 minute composition for 16 players and Conductor that takes an intricate melody by Karlheinz Stockhausen and codes it as a formula using x and y. This formula is then fed with all 110 possible different values available within Equal Temperament, and this allows for a whole spectrum of melodies from simple to complex which all reflect the internal logic of the Mantra theme. These are then interpreted imaginatively to create the finished Soundtrack which can be thought of as a series of cues for an imaginary spy film.
