When I was presented with the idea of composing a musical piece for a merry-go-round, my initial thoughts were that this was probably the most perfect place for cyclic, repetitive music – something I’ve spent quite a bit of my time on during my years as a producer of electronic music for dark clubs. My hope is that those who already enjoy this type of organization of sound might find the new listening situation a different way to discover small subtleties and “change by repetition”, while those who consider such musical structures “music for goldfish” (and people with similar attention spans) might just enjoy the ride in itself. In any case, I’m looking forward to playing around with these ideas.
