The American composer wrote his early masterpiece for seven solo strings in 1978. In it, each instrument plays a series of melodic fragments looped to create a shimmering, ever-shifting layer of sound. His explorations of propulsion and texture don't work as well on the electro acoustic "Light Over Water," as 1983's sound technology sounds a bit hokey to contemporary ears.
