The Book of Rice

from The Geography of Thought by Ivodne Galatea

/

about

Three pieces in the form of petrichor, the rock weeping after rain. Each is a variation on one of three well-known song variations using an instrumental composition as a base. These petrichor treat those song in that manner, amounting to a double-derivation. Performers and composers are invited to continue the process.
