...then time killed the wind... is an original musical composition scored for percussion quartet and electronics with a duration of fourteen minutes. This work explores metaphorical relationships between biological processes and musical processes. The primary constructive element in the work is a rhythmic language based upon the assignment of rhythmic cells to genetic sequences. Furthermore, biological models such as inverted repeats, zeitgeber, 2-D representations of DNA and cross-breeding were applied to musical parameters such as form, pitch, harmony and live electronics.
