Description
This composition, like Cage's One10, should be played with a sound sculpture by Mineko Grimmer, which is made of a shaped block of ice in which pebbles are embedded. As the ice melts, the pebbles release and fall, striking steel wires stretched beneath, making the wires sing before plunking gently into the pool of water forming beneath it all. One6 has extremely sustained tones, some lasting as long as six or seven minutes. The score itself has especially long, flexible time brackets, with long overlaps between them.
