01 Electroacoustic A Mechanics of Almost IV Aerolith An air-column instrument beside a resonating metal surface: bass-clarinet breath and multiphonics exchanged with a bowed cymbal's slowly transforming partials.

02 Electroacoustic A Mechanics of Almost II Afterglare The zurna's penetrating upper spectrum treated as a physical condition: sustained tones extended, upper partials exposed and separated until the instrument's apparent singularity fragments.

03 Electroacoustic A Mechanics of Almost I Anaculaton Timpani reduced to impact → membrane → resonance → decay, then interfered with: attacks activate virtual resonating bodies beyond the instrument's scale, alongside wind, tunnels, machinery and distant environmental resonance.
