Astral Waves I, opus 62 for horn and tape has been performed a number of times, it seems to build and build and the silences further on in the piece are quite effective. I believe there are three parts to this work, it’s a cycle that happen three time with different views. I think this sort of work is  important, because a student can spend hours of practice with the tape, alone in preparation for such things a student recitals. I wrote this before I had my own computer late in 1991 so the computer generated tape was created by my copyist then. The original tape part is on a cassette tape and that is probably why the pitch is at A= 436.
