Description

A text-sound composition by a master of the genre, Charles Amirkhanian. This work was realized at the KPFA studios on June 29, 1971 and had its broadcast premiere the next day on Amirkhanian’s regular Ode To Gravity program. Taking four words as its base this work slowly evolves as distorted or electronically manipulated recitations are layered upon each other.
