Program Notes I made A Thought Among Many for my friends Hajoe Moderegger and Franziska Lamprecht, otherwise known as the e-team, A video and multi-disciplinary artist duo, they asked me to write a short piece for use in their newest project, International Airport Montello. Incidentally, they are also the same friends for whom I made Soundtrack for a Short Western. Similar to "Soundtrack," "A Thought..." was created in my home studio one day while playing around. I used some ideas that I borrowed from another piece I was working on at the time that involved a lot of electric guitar loops. Overall, the piece has a dreamy, flying sort of quality about it (not surprising, since it is part of a project about an airport!), but the noisy, ambient quality tends to come into focus once the bass sets in. There is a slow chord progresssion over and through which a small motive or theme (the thought!) ocassionally careens and meanders. Eventually, it just disintegrates into almost nothing.
