“retreat/return” interpolates harmonic language from Jewish cantorial singing and 11-limit just intonation. Like breath, the sound expands outwards and inwards, perpetually turning in on itself whilst remaining in constant motion. The piece renders various cantorial modes microtonally, using these scales as source material for spiraling melodies and harmonic progression.
