Jon Gibson achieved some degree of renown as a regular member of Philip Glass' original ensemble, but his own career as a composer has been somewhat overshadowed. These two compositions from the mid-'70s show that he was right at the vanguard of the minimalist movement with his better-known colleagues. "Cycles," for pipe organ, is a steady-state piece with a basic seven-note chord and alterations thereof; it creates a cloud-like atmosphere, slowly shifting certain characteristics but maintaining a singular sound throughout. "Cycles" is related to Steve Reich's earlier organ works ("Four Organs" and "Phase Patterns," the latter on which Gibson performed) but with the rhythmic element removed, leaving a mysterious stasis. "Untitled" is a lengthy melody for alto flute, where the performer is only required to perform the notes in sequence but may improvise as to repetitions, phrasing, rhythm, etc. Gibson's flute has a lovely sound, coming a little bit into shakuhachi territory, and the melody is captivating and haunting. The overall sense of serenity combined with the constantly shuffled elements makes this piece a luxurious joy.
