Description

This very personal and impressionistic work, attempts to recapture the excitement of the world as viewed through the eyes of a three-year old child. It uses the sounds of my daughter's voice, her name (Anna Ruth) and a large number of both concrete and synthesized sound-materials. The piece was made over a period of 5 weeks in the studios of San Jose State University and the University of Texas at Austin. I would like to thank the Ralph Vaughan Williams Trust and the Hinrichsen Foundation for their generous financial assistance, which made my visit to these studios possible . - Trevor Wishart (from tape box description)
