• Moose Imitating Moss - Anna Eriksson (excerpt)
Duo con Forza: Patrik Karlsson & Duane Large, guitars - April 29, 2006 - Philadelphia Ethical Society
Program notes:
Moose imitating moss - The title dosen´t really say anything or you can say it says everything. It´s the listener whom has to make his/hers own association. In the piece you´ll find a base line from the Led Zeppelin song Dazed and Confused. The use of slide is also a loose connection to Zeppelin. - Anna Eriksson

• Workers Union - Louis Andriessen (excerpt)
Odd Appetite: Ha Yang Kim, cello and Nathan Davis, perc. - November 5, 2005 - Philadelphia Ethical Society
Program notes:
Workers Union is a "symphonic movement for any loud sounding group of instruments." Pitches are not traditionally notated, but are spaced relative to a single horizontal line, which represents the center of the instrument's register. Much in the same aesthetic as other works of his same period, such as Hoketus, the composer requests that it "sound dissonant, chromatic and often aggressive." Andriessen states that "only in the case that every player plays with such an intention that his part is an essential one, the work will succeed; just as in the political work.
