'Ji' means stratagem, guiding principle or calculation. I was inspired by the sound of the 'qin', the ancient Chinese zither, and paid particular attention to textures in this piece.

"My form is created entirely out of straight lines and flat surfaces ordered at symmetrical right-angles. Every side, every line is the same as every other. Intersection facing intersection. This is me at peace with myself. I can begin rotating at the slightest movement, yet it is not always possible to forsee my path of motion, for the possibility of changing direction at any moment I leave open. My way is found along my edges or my corners. If I am not resting on a surface then I am moving in this linear fashion."
A square's eye view - its inherent form is the lead for musical transformation.
The ensemble follows characteristic figurations as a compact motional unit. The way leads from a description of the object through to the mechanisms of its motion and on to playfully gestural formulations.
Circular motions, rotation around a fixed axis, gradual advancement over sound layers, using pulses to create structure, fragmentary phases and moments of dancy movement are but a few aspects which infuse throughout this piece.

- in space or pitch: in the 1st movement and within the progression from sequence 1 to 3, densification and equal distribution of the chord's notes, enlargement of the tonal range; in the 2nd movement, progressive reduction of the tonal range; in the 3rd movement, what I call melodious density and is progressively decrescent.

The piano piece 'Mandorla' was composed in Sydney in 1998 at the request of the Swiss organist and pianist Helene Thürig, who commissioned a "sacred piano piece". The piece is based on the mandorla form, a medieval halo, which is reflected in the arching form of the composition. Central elements include the (sacred) numbers 3 and 7, as well as the numbers 8 (=mandorla) and 12 (the number of notes in the chromatic scale) upon which the structure of the piece is based. A musical reference to the medieval representation of the mondorla is evident in the piano's upper voice. To be played as a 'lontano' vision, the rapid, melodic phrases use the perfect 8th, 5th, 4th and unison tones to adopt characteristics of the medieval two-voice spiritual song (organum).
