This is another "spectral" composition, this time using the harmonic spectrum created by a low G (concert F) on the bass clarinet to inform the harmonies played by the other instruments. I also use GRM's Atelier softsynth to plot out the first 16 notes of the harmonic spectrum from the bass clarinet note to create a drone, then use a series of comb filters to emphasize different parts over time. I also used Atelier to loop a sample of the bass clarinet's low G, layer it, and add delays, filters, and other oscillation for movement.
