environment no.1

composed by scott peterson in december2005 and performed by composers workshop.

this piece utilizes a prepared environment, consisting of room mics, speakers, and 6 musicians. every sound is cycled through a 'prepared software environment'- where it is filtered, altered, echoed, warped..

the horns (peter lutek, tom richards, simeon alev) play written material, the piano and guitar improvise on other written material.

a sample of the prose element:

"chaos (not real) an illusion as things are tending towards order, the chaos is simply elements organizing themselves."
