Programme notes
In this work, I - the composer - explore the role of spatialization and timbre blending as the main driving force to influence my orchestration approach. My departure point was to translate the concept of wind-chimes as a physical instrument and its properties to orchestral music. All of the pitch material was extracted from a sample recording of this instrument and then laid out in order to achieve a flowing harmonic progression that would take over the pitch development throughout the piece. Furthermore, wind-chimes is an instrument that if left alone it can be played by himself (with the natural stimulus of the wind) in a constant and almost in generative ambient-like style. In addition to this, there is also a very important spatial property where each bell/chime is in constant movement and also in a whole, all the bells move between themselves. In the end, this resulting harmonic progression and the idea of the movement of parts but also as a whole had a huge impact on my writing of this specific work.

Notas de programa
Nesta obra, eu - o compositor - exploro o papel da espacialização e da mistura de timbres como principal força motriz para influenciar a minha abordagem de orquestração. O meu ponto de partida foi traduzir o conceito de windchimes como um instrumento físico e as suas propriedades físicas via esta música orquestral. Todo o material foi extraído de uma gravação deste instrumento e depois exposto de modo a obter uma progressão harmónica fluida que assumisse o desenvolvimento de toda a peça. Além disso, os windchimes são um instrumento que, se deixado sozinho, pode ser tocado por ele próprio (com o estímulo natural do vento) num estilo constante e quase generativo de ambiente. Além disso, existe também uma propriedade espacial muito importante onde cada sino/chime está em constante movimento e também num todo, todos os sinos se movem entre si. No final, esta progressão harmónica e a ideia do movimento de partes, tiveram um enorme impacto na minha escrita deste trabalho específico.
