During the 1970s, John Rimmer produced a series of compositions for different instruments and electronic sounds.

In Composition 4, the flute is accompanied by a gentle environment of string and percussive timbres.

The flute writing bears an oriental influence, and in particular, of the Japanese flute, the shakuhachi.
