Braid was created by interweaving different musical material into an overlapping pattern. Sometimes the musical strands are quite coarse, such as at the beginning of the piece, sometimes much finer. These musical materials themselves were created through a complex process of intermixing. The piece is thus a braid of braids, an entwined, pulsating whole.

“All I say is that non-experts often know more than experts and should therefore be consulted and that prophets of truth (including those who use arguments) more often than not are carried along by a visions that clashes with the very events that vision is supposed to be exploring.
