“A composition is a medium. A medium organises. It organises the transmission of information and the circulation of signs, images, and sounds. But the main significance of the medium lies in its inherent capacity to transmit the organisation itself – as both medium and process, effect and image, as well as function, form, and structure. It is at this demarcation, where musical composition is both defined and becoming enigmatic by its own status as one among many media, that I begin – thereby focusing on a small fragment of the tangled assemblage that I call the compositional complex.”
