Alvin Lucier, Panorama for Trombone and Piano, drawing and score, 1993.
Written for Swiss Composer/trombonist Roland Dahinden who studied with Alvin Lucier at Wesleyan University, Panorama consists in the sonification of a drawing, a sight-seeing view of the Alps seen from Zug, Switzerland, known as the Waldspitzpanorama. Lucier deduced frequency from mountain heights and duration from the distance between them. Hence, since “the trombone freely slides through the continuum of frequencies, while the piano is bound to pitches in equal temperament, beatings and difference tones occur.” [source]
