The jury's reasoning

A work with large, organic waves of intensity, composed of condensation/dilution of rhythmic activity, color shifts, instrumentation, and with microtonal melody and harmony lines. Good tension/balance between soloists and plenum, different placements in the room, microphoned sound and acoustic sound. A personal, solid and richly faceted work, with a strong, underlying dramatic force. Carefully coordinated imagery and lighting further clarify the piece.
