Buzzed slows down and analyses the gestures of the sounds chosen for the piece and represents them structurally. The buzzing gesture controls the form of the piece, just as a coin rattles on a vibraphone, large attacks occur throughout the piece increasing in frequency by a constant ratio. Other sounds like rattles are represented by randomly scattered wooden attacks and the friction within an attack is represented by bowed techniques.
