Drum... was a linear piece using a bass drum turned on its side, a hundred or so tiny bells and a hand held cymbal... the piece organically directed itself.

With Drum I deliberately limited myself to a small palette of instruments, and used those to attempt to create sounds usually associated with electronic processing. Other than a small amount of live EQ tweaking to bring forward the bass frequencies of a cymbal humming, there is no other processing of the audio.
