2R Score (Digital Download)
2R is formally organized into two broad regions dividing the piece into two approximately equal halves. Region I is temporally centered around a quarter note pulse of 86. Region II is centered around a quarter note pulse of 72. Throughout 2R, the two base tempos and mode of attack tempos are intermingled, frequently interrupted by sporadic, metric subdivisions which emerge as a temporal sub-structure. The differing sections are fractured into layers and juxtaposed with increasing irregularity. Oppositional segments assimilate into contrapuntal time blocks where they cease to follow any discernable linear course, creating a friction in the time-flow of the piece. In the central section of the second region the individual segments begin to unravel, and the time polyphony disperse. 2R closes with a final distillation of these disparate elements into a single musical unity expressed in the concluding lines of the piece.
