화자와 앙상블을 위한 작품.
미국의 폭파범 Sam Melville이 Attica 교도소에서 쓴 편지를 읽고 감명을 받아 작곡되었다.
1. Coming Together
편지의 일부분이 인용되는데 연주 내내 한문장씩 더해가며 반복된다.
I think the combination of age and the greater coming together is responsible for the speed of the passing time. it's six months now and i can tell you truthfully few periods in my life have passed so quickly. i am in excellent physical and emotional health. there are doubtless subtle surprises ahead but i feel secure and ready.
As lovers will contrast their emotions in times of crisis, so am i dealing with my environment. in the indifferent brutality, incessant noise, the experimental chemistry of food, the ravings of lost hysterical men, i can act with clarity and meaning. i am deliberate--sometimes even calculating--seldom employing histrionics except as a test of the reactions of others. i read much, exercise, talk to guards and inmates, feeling for the inevitable direction of my life.
음악은 펜타토닉 스케일을 다양한 악기들이 반복.
2. Attica
Attica is in front of me.
한 문장을 단어 단위로 조금씩 잘라 반복.
