Dedicated to Jack Body, this work is a revisiting of an earlier work of mine, Waiting for the Aeroplane, written when I was a composition student at Victoria University in 1988. Jack was an important mentor during my student days, and two things he encouraged me to do at the time (both of which I resisted) were to join the gamelan (a great regret) and to alter the ostinato pattern in Waiting for the Aeroplane. So here, two decades later, I have finally embraced both ideas.
