Program Note
What magic glue prevents this music from falling apart? Puff is included in a series of works that I call Assemblage. These works are composed by grouping unrelated structures and actions. The musicians are spread out over the entire stage or around the audience. Puff was commissioned by the Gotlands Musikstiftelse. It was first performed by the Gotland Wind Quintet, Visby October 5, 2005.
