Program Note:

Braid was created by interweaving different musical material into an overlapping pattern. Sometimes the musical strands are quite coarse, such as at the beginning of the piece, sometimes much finer. These musical materials themselves were created through a complex process of intermixing. The piece is thus a braid of braids, an entwined, pulsating whole.
