The title Pentagram refers to the five parts of the piece. Every part features a different combination of instruments:
1: Flute, Piano, Tape
2: Alto Flute, Percussion
3: Piccolo, Piano, Xylophone, Tape
4: Flute
5: Bass Flute, Piano, Percussion, Tape
The tapes were created using only recorded flute sounds, not only regular tones, but also noises and key sounds. These sounds were processed in the electronic studio of the Brabants Conservatorium in Tilburg. During a performance the tape sounds should blend in with the live instruments.
Pentagram was inspired by the Shakuhachi flute.
