Clyties of the Mist features a sequence of palindromes and palindromic variations for midi piano. Each note is played with the same dynamic intensity (midi velocity 65), and the same piano sound is used throughout. "Marionette Noir a.m.", "Clyties of the Mist", "Flying Fish", "The Pearls of Aphrodite", and "Halcyone" are perfect palindromes. "Gates of Dawn" presents a partial palindrome: of the four voices in this piece, two reflect palindromically, while the other two repeat in their original direction. In a different style of partial palindrome, both voices of "Sea Melodies" place non-palindromic pitches upon fully palindromic rhythms — the durations of the notes are perfectly mirrored, but the pitches of the notes are not; moreover, the two voices have different palindromic centres (‘pivots’). "Art and the Jade" plays with asymmetrical tempos, creating a palindrome whose second half is twice the speed of the first. "Black Piano" presents a beat-unit ‘aelindrome’, whose beats are palindromically parsed and reversed according to the first twelve digits of the decimal expansion of the twelfth root of two. "Wrath of the Sea God" has a first voice that is structurally palindromic but asymmetrical in tempo — with its latter half 75% the duration of the former; its second voice is non-palindromic.
