This is my second time encountering this piece, and based on my experience with other electroacoustic compositions, it seems to me that the venue and position of sound sources would make a huge difference in the perception, and reception, of this work. For example, I could see this piece fitting right into a contemporary museum setting. It wouldn't be at all out of place as an exhibit in the annual "Garden of Memory" that takes place in Oakland every year. It seems to me to invite both casual and meditative experiences, neither of which an orchestra hall is ideally suited for. What would it be like if I were hearing it in surround sound, with significant spatial separation between the speakers? Or a binaural recording on headphones? Would it come off as more of a kind of heterophony? Even better: can you imagine a piece like this being pulled off at one of those great Baroque cathedrals in Europe where there are antiphonal organs positioned around the cathedral? I've been dreaming of the possibilities ever since I visited one...
