Past - Present - Future

One element to consider is the implications of temporal linearity within the source material, i.e. Sterne's book was written in 1768, and uses the language of that time; Martini's music was composed in the late 1700's, and published in the 1920's; the historical folk music were recorded around the 1950's; the field recordings resulting from ev2's sentimental journey will be recorded in 2010, and the premiere will be 2011.

How will all this work? Especially given the mix of disembodied voices from different ages.
