This section of the site has been put together by Fraser Trainer who takes a look at the composition methods that Boulez used in his work Dérive (1984). This not only provides an insight into the work but acts as a resource to those who wish to follow the education project found in the Workshops area.

There is also included here notes on those who have had an influence on Boulez; quotes about Boulez and the London Sinfonietta composition project from students in Words; and a short collection of definitions and descriptions of terms and places referred to within the site.
