A work for any number of musicians in which pitches that are heard most often are slowly removed from the set of available pitches over the course of the piece until no more pitches are left.

Database of Intention



Download

The two texts for this piece were selected from the roughly 2 million search records of America Online users that were accidentally made available to the public last year. The searches span over a three month period and here I've scaled them down to 14 minutes, maintaining their relative durations. Some pics from the performance here.
