"Horde" was similarly used as a title by Ernst in 1927. "Tryptich (Of F. Bacon)" refers particularly to Bacon's triptych "Crucifixion" (1965). "The posture" involves adaptations of pre-baroque material, e.g. Gesualdo "lo pur respiro" (1611). Use of synthesizer on Dys 03 was limited to Crystal Goldberg's bass part on "Puncture/Throng". B. McGregor, M. Mansfield, K. Hotchkiss, J. Sorbie, M. O'Day, and R. Burgess provided valuable assistance.
