Program Notes
A pulsar is a specific type of neutron star that emits a periodic beam of electromagnetic radiation. The regular pulsation can be likened to a metronome or a delay unit in that the material is in a fixed state of repetition. This piece for solo horn uses echo and repetition only as a point of departure to other live processing realms like temporal freezing and polyphonic pitch shifting.
Pulsar [Variant I] was written for and dedicated to Glen Eric Gray.
