* A footnote about why the title E Sequence was applied to these pieces. E does, of course, suggest ecstasy, a state or states of transcendental bliss. That is part of what is connotated. The other part is about the drug E, or Ecstasy, a form of benzedrine which was popular in the Nineties. The physiological effect of dropping E is akin to the sensation of riding on a magic carpet. The pieces attempt to convey this. Part of what we found intoxicating in the early Aughts was concerned with ingestion of chemicals (not exactly E, but close), part was just each other's company and the sense, from West Philadelphia to Logan Square, of right place right time. But the moniker E Sequence is a bit of Nineties-ism which attempts to convey the levitational nature of our emotions at the time, steady as they were in the upper ranges.
