Bronze has got a big cimbalom part and a prepared piano, bamboo chimes, and a lot of woodwind multiphonics - where woodwind players can get harmonics with certain fingerings to create strange chord sounds; there is this passage where there is cimbalom, prepared piano and multiphonics all at once - I thought 'this is a great sound!' But again it's not very conventional really. Also I probably won't want to do that anymore, I'll have to find something else now. - Diana Burrell.
