Casey has produced an engaging piece of music demonstrating a thorough understanding of musical concepts. Technology has been employed to create a score and a recording that demonstrate a detailed understanding of writing for the chosen media. The piece is notated with appropriate manipulation of software but performance directions are not evident. The choice of instrumentation is appropriate but the xylophone part lacks development. The piece begins with independent rhythmic layers; however, they are not developed through each part. There is interplay between parts that shows stylistic understanding. There is a good collection of tone colours, creating tonal variety, and a good balance between sound and silence. The manipulation of duration in 5/4 metre is successful, although the ideas are simplistic.
