Program Notes:

​

When traveling by train, I enjoy sitting by the window and looking outside. Looking afar, the horizon moves rather slowly and in an oval-shaped line. Looking closer, the sharp angle presents a hectic, fast-changing, unpredictable visual effect. Over the years, I started viewing these visual events as sound events, ever-changing, merging, widening, closing up, and always colorful. The title refers to the unpredictability of events, just as one cannot predict the next event while sitting on a fast-riding loose caboose.

"Loose Caboose" is dedicated to Charles Peltz.
