In this composition, the mathematical constant, Pi, shows up in various
  ways. The most noticeable is the melody. The composer took an f minor scale,
  and plugged in the numbers of Pi. He used the numbers 1-7 in normal scale
  order, in this situation, he considered 8s and 1s the same and 9s and 2s
  to be the same as well due to how the scale works. 0s were rests. The second
  way Pi shows up is in the bass line. The interval jumps you hear are based on
  Pi, so theres a jump of a 3rd, a unison, a fourth, a unison, and so on. Not
  long into the piece, each piano begins playing their own melody each
  progressing through Pi, but they all do so at different speeds. At about the
  half-way point, the composer switched things around, and did a complete
  retrograde of everything he had done so far. Basically, he put a mirror up to
  the first half of the piece. The only difference from the beginning is that
  he began taking measures out. Taking 
  measures out using Pi, he counted 3 measures, then removed the next
  one then counted the next four measures then removed one then counted 5
  measures then removed 9 measures and so on until a full set of measures could
  not be removed.

Drip, Drop, Drip, Drop...The orchestra plays the parts of both cave and
  explorer in this daring crusade through the darkness. At the mouth of the
  cave, the explorer hears the dripping and dropping of water from the
  stalactites before stepping excitedly into the unknown. This intrepid
  adventure through the darkness is in 4/4 time and utilizes the b minor scale
  with everyone having a chance to play melodic material.

Inspired by a classic cat and mouse chase, Scampering Pizzi-CAT-o, starts
  with the cat stalking its prey in the cellos and basses until it is ready to
  pounce. Then, the chase begins! This quirky little chase in 6/8 time is in
  the comfortable key of b minor with all instrument sections having a chance
  to enjoy plucking out the melody. Will the cat catch its prey, or will the
  mouse be laughing at the end of the day?

Scampering Pizzi-CAT-o

"uncharted" is a minimalistic percussion quartet that was
  inspired by the unknown. As the listener hears the music, they may be drawn
  to thoughts about the vastness of space, the dark depths of the ocean, or
  even death. There is still so much that humanity has yet to learn; so many
  things that are still unknown, still "uncharted".
