Description: Premiered: Synchronia, St. Louis, MO. "Street City" is an attempt to convey some of the elemental dissonance, repetition and rhythmic pulse of the city street sounds. It is also meant to evoke the cyclical transition of mood as a day gives way to quieter night hours, then picking up rhythmically once again as morning approaches.
