Product Description

The idea for this piece came to me as I stared at a chart of hundreds of zeros and ones. What if 0=C and 1=D flat? I thought. Would it be possible to write an entire piece around that? After I scribbled down the succession of Cs and D flats in a column alongside the zeros and ones, the piece quickly took shape in my mind.

Any music with a repeating bass line can be called a passacaglia. The two-pitch bass line underpinning this piece is unusual: because of the pattern of zeros and ones in the chart, it repeats aperiodically (I used non-periodic in the title to avoid future typos and the pre-performance announcements that inevitably accompany them). The pattern has many other fascinating properties, involving palindromes, fractals, Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratiobut all of this is really just the backdrop for what is, in the end, an expression of passion, angst, lyricism and humor.
