Created by Steve Harris for BBC Radio Solent’s ‘Breakfast in Dorset’ Broadcast 07.23 on 19th August 2016.

I gratefully acknowledge the recording and videoing of this premiere by James Praznik, Presenter and co-director of New Music Brandeis. “Streaming” presents a serene array of pools, each containing suspended quantities of crystalline particles.
