I swear this sounds like some music major grad student's attempt at musical noise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgQ3fmo-v1Q
Andolink, seriously, what about this appeals to you?

Actually Rebecca Saunders is, along with Chaya Czernowin, my favorite composer of the female persuasion and among the top 5 or 6 of my favorite living composers of any persuasion.

Her ear for endlessly fascinating and evocative sound blending astounds me. Her wonderfully dramatic sonic tapestries very effectively avoid the clichés found in so much of the rest of contemporary and avant-garde music.

Of course, that famous quote, "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture" applies here. It's so subjective and difficult to put into words why certain kinds of sounds fascinate when others bore or annoy.

Thanks for the reply. I try to pull up a few moments of your listening fare. It's almost always a journey into the unknown for me... a very long way from my typical Copland, Shostokavich, or Cui. Interesting percussion is an academic pursuit for me, not a visceral pleasure. Romantic at heart, I love my melody.
