Habitat
Appearance & role
Across the copper ribs above the surface cistern. Long
cloud strings hold pale light under the open dome and
divide it into slow intervals.
A suspended string-and-light instrument fiction. The
studies interpret the original ceiling strings and their
paired harmonic voice.
Character & musical voice
Paired tones support Nightwater Canon while leaving the main tune and its reflection distinct. Soft cloud-harp harmony; B
Dorian, 6/8, dotted-quarter 72 BPM.
