notes: field recordings, real and synthetic voices, piano harmonics and multiphonics: tape, skin, piano explores a sound world in which these materials overlap and interact, allowing form to emerge from the unstable, constantly shifting relationship between abstract timbres and spatial allusions. The piano is limited to a small set of harmonics and multiphonics produced through direct contact between fingers and strings, while the electronic layer creates a hybrid of recorded and instrumental sound, bringing both into the same sonic space.
