Conversations is not framed within a linear structure so often expected of more traditional forms but better reflects a multifaceted arrangement similar to speech between two people; its pace, shifting of characters and energy quickly changing. One listens to this music not by standing back and observing the larger form, but one hears this music with an aural microscope. The nuance of the small gesture is so important. The source material for the computer is the sound of the live piano, processed with such complicated real-time interactive modifications of the live piano as cross synthesis and pitch shifts; sometimes recorded, delayed and modified at a different point in time within the piece. This creates the dialogue between the live piano and the processing of the piano.
