In this piece, the "Over the Rainbow" sequence from THE WIZARD OF OZ moves forward from the beginning and backwards from the end in half second intercuts. This gradually builds from one screen to a 25-voice split-screen canon in which each voice is slightly out of sync. The resulting matrix is mesmerizing and kaleidoscopic.
