Bleed

When my musical material bleeds into others’ musical material
When the others’ sounds and musical ideas bleed into mine
It is before polyphonic material forms composites
It is when polyphonic material is on its way to merge
It is an early stadium in the process of creating composites
It is when something is on the brink of becoming something else
It is deciding to let it bleed
It is when I incorporate a bell stroke from Ingar, consider it part of my arpeggio
