HighBirds (Prime)
Dennis Bathory-Kitsz
About this work: HighBirds (Prime) -- subtitled "In Memoriam Iannis Xenakis" -- was written for performance a week after Xenakis's death, and replaced a work-in-progress which I discarded. Created from the analysis and resynthesis of the songs of five birds, the music is dense and mysterious.
