I began this piece in the school library while in High School. I conceived of an idea I called tone blocks. I took a row of 12 tones and created a block of 48 notes by using the Original, Retrograde, Inversion, and Retrograde Inversion all at the same time. In essence this hides the nature of the 12-tone writing. The recording is unfortunate in that the sampled instruments aren't very good.
