Composed in 1992, this dramatic and gritty electro-acoustical work is scored for brass quartet, four percussionists and live electronics. "Aspects of the physical structure of a volcano are applied to control musical elements...the change from a solid (earth) to a liquid (lava) is modeled by the transformation of the acoustic sounds into electronic sounds...a primordial state of flux" (C. Brown). The electronics create fascinating "3D imaging" illusions. "Blue" Gene Tyranny, All Music Guide
