Composer's statement: My LOOPS experiment is an attempt to discover whether concepts of perceptual stream or channel can be helpful in a musical understanding of the effects of fast discrete changes of instrumental timbre. If a repeating melodic pattern of six pitches is performed by five instruments, with each instrument playing a single note, in the manner of a hocket, then each pitch of the pattern will eventually be played by a different instrument.
