Eight Electronic Pieces
Tod Dockstader
FW03434
Chance combinations, accidental themes, chaos in generalthese are the musical modes that Dockstader uses in composing electronic pieces. Blending oscillating electronic sounds with natural sounds is like being "confronted with a potential orchestra of thousands of instruments," he says, and the task becomes one of "improvising."
