Glass Rivers in Reverse

Sparse, glitchy chamber piece for solo piano, prepared strings, and fragmented vocal samples; male vocals as texture rather than lead. Starts near-silent with microscopic piano figures, then builds into asymmetric pulses and sudden cuts, like stuttering tape. Midway, bowed harmonics smear into a hazy drone while chopped syllables flicker in the stereo field. Final minute strips back to a fragile piano motif and distant, detuned hums, leaving a questioning, open ending.
