Cloud shapes, cream in coffee, smoke rising: it is amazing that studies in chaos have shown us that there are connections and a kind of "order" in seemingly random events. I thought it would be interesting to write a piece that might seem somewhat turbulent, but in fact is highly structured. One diminished scale--a symmetrical arrangement of half
steps and whole steps--is used exclusively, and the rhythmic meter fluctuates.
