NotesWritten for Paragon Ensemble.
Programme NoteYou know when things go a bit strange on you, then you find that instead of being all on one layer they're stratified, but not in ordinary strata, you know, kind of strangled ones, and despite your best efforts it's quite a struggle to get through them? You do! So it happens to you too! I'm glad to hear it, I thought it was just me. Well, you'll know what this piece is all about then.
