13 Stages is somewhat improvisational. The composer has supplied the pitches, but
the performers may determine note durations. The series of pitches begins as a descending
scale, which is then broken apart and turned into a melodic motive. The motive is in turn
broken apart, and from its fragments, an ascending scale is constructed. As each performer is
determining his or her own note durations, the result is an ever-evolving, overlapping
counterpoint.

In this performance, each stage lasts 9 minutes.
