Read excerpt
When his pieces kept ballooning, Marc Mellits tried a radical constraint: present one idea, double bar, move on. The result wasn’t “no development,” but concise, targeted development—modular movements he could reorder into baroque-style suites that breathe without the bloat.

Through an iterative process of recording, processing, and transforming, Hannah reveals how even the simplest sound can open a world of unseen motion and meaning. micro/Maker episodes release every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday!
