Eight Electronic Pieces

FW03434

Chance combinations, accidental themes, chaos in general—these 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."
