Description
Temporal Waves can be played...(more) by 4 pianos, harps, guitars, vibraphones, marimbas or any combination as long as there are four performers. All players read from the full score, there are no parts.

In Temporal Waves each performer has a number of repeating cells to play; fading in and out com[pletely before puasing and starting the next one. When exactly each performer stops and starts varies slightly with each performance, but it must line up homophonically with the other players. The duration of the piece can be anywhere from 6 to 10 minutes depending on how quickly the performers move through the cells.
Each cell should be approx. 15 seconds long (5 seconds fading in from ppp to mf ; repeat at mf for 5 seconds; then fade out again for 5 seconds to ppp. Then each player takes a short break (5 seconds or so) to listen and acquire the new tempo and then play their next cell.
