    The Correspondence Quartet used melodies to activate musical processes. Any single process taken in isolation, by virtue of its generality, invited two possible approaches: the quartet could fill in the particulars intuitively, or leave them blank - everything left unstated became the province of either improvisation or minimalism. Subsequently a syntax evolved to refer to the ways in which the melodies and processes could be logically combined. To the extent that the melodic material was subjected to the very processes that had just been activated, while activating the process following, the music acquired an instrinsic dynamism.
