Tune Park is a piece with verse and refrain. The verses consist of many small phrases that the players put together in new forms and patterns for each performance. It could have the form of lists, chains, call/response, solos, duos etc. Two examples:

  1. A varying chain:
    Bass Clarinet A Bass Clarinet A
    Violin A Violin A
    Cello B Cello B
    Piano B Piano B
    Silence Guitar A-B
  2. Everyone plays the A material, with silences in between
    approximately the same length as A, starting together:

    A A A A A A

The refrain is a more continuous material that has a variation in the overlaying and combination of instruments each time it is played. The piece was written for the + - ensemble in 2006, and it may be performed with any combination of these instruments: portable cd-player, bass clarinet, electric guitar, piano 4 hands (with portable cd player placed on piano), accordion, violin and cello.
