Notes
Title is that of Tibetan mystery play, and means "cutting-off", a reference to the absorbtion of personality in the universal order of all created matter. Explores the tension and ultimate union between two modes: the inexorable, quasi-peridodic motions of atoms and celestial bodies vs. the willful, independent actions of man.
