Ochlokratia

Ochlokratia (1996) for orchestra incorporates computer generated random events that provide the foundation for harmonic, melodic and rhythmic content. Aleatoric devices are used to create complex and chaotic rhythmic textures. Shifts from metered to non-metered music and their coexistence define states of flux or stasis. The title of the piece, Ochlokratia, was chosen at random from Webster's Dictionary. It is the Greek root of the word ochlocracy, defined as government by the mob or mob rule.
