Composed in 2021 

Duration: 8'10''

The cyclic structure of the work, hence its title, was an attempt to move away from the formal manner used in the other pieces I composed around this time (2021), defined by a linear organicism. 

The formal constraints of cycles and repetition centre around two ‘events’, one entirely consisting of groups of three semiquavers and one of five semiquavers. These appear at regular intervals; one spaced out equally to appear six times in the piece, and the other four times. These groups only overlap in their first and last presentations, resulting in a 3:5 rhythmic ratio. The non-‘events’ are rhythmically less constrained, becoming successively more contrapuntally complex. 

The recording of this piece was made by the Explore Ensemble and Ondrej Soukup in 2021.
