Interference Patterns: the patterns of peaks and troughs that result when two or more waves that traveled slightly different paths from the same source are brought together.
This piece initially presents two contrasting melodic ideas which gradually affect each other's characteristics as they are brought together over time. Eventually they combine into a composite musical structure: the two voices become one, until a new third voice appears to contrast the composite structure. This third voice is gradually assimilated so that one larger musical structure, possessing characteristics of all three original ideas, displays the pattern of interference caused by the coalescence of the original melodic ideas.
