Equator Loops is based on a simple melodic idea that expands and contracts step-wise in a "mirror image" of itself around the note D in the very centre of the piano keyboard. Development is strictly organic this single idea is used exclusively throughout the piece and progresses in "waves" of fluctuating intensity. The composer's decision to limit himself to such minimal germinal material lends the piece a hypnotic, even obsessive, feeling; interest is focused on the development of a demisemiquaver rhythmic motive and gradual expansion of the music into wider registers.
