"East is a meditation on a text from Isha-Upanishad. The forty-eight words of the text are punctuated by forty-eight gongs sounding approximately every ten seconds. Each letter in the text is given a pitch value depending on its frequency of occurrence in the text and the note-patterns arising from the words form the harmonic and melodic material which the orchestra plays and occasionally sings."

Duration: 8 min., 15 sec.
