Overall description of the movements: “The complete version of the ‘Spider Dreams Suite” is seven movements, these four included here are the ones that were most suitable to being performed as individual pieces on their own, and they work together well as a grouping, in the tradition of the typical western European 19th century four movement string quartet compositional model.” Length: 24:00.

III. Waterfall With Blenders
“While the title of the piece, “Waterfall With Blenders,” is a spoof of New Age music titles, the music itself bears the textural and harmonic influence of the “ECM sound”, typified by composers such as Keith Jarrett and Ralph Towner.” Length: 7:05
