Comments
Four4 uses flexible time-brackets, and calls for unspecified instruments, to which performers assign a number. These numbers are then referenced in the score, within each of the time-brackets. The beginnings and endings of sounds are sometimes widely separated, at times covering more than 5 minutes. Each time-bracket features only one sound. The four performers have 22, 16, 10, and 15 time-brackets each. This composition was written especially to be recorded to CD, hence its duration.
