Notes

This is an electronic piece designed for acousmatic diffusion. If you are interested in performing this work, please contact us.

In 1993 I wrote Phonai for a Yamaha SY-77 synthesizer with the intention to explore some of the instrument’s sonic potentialities. Four years later I added a concréte counterpart to the synthesizer’s part based on some voice recordings of my children Grace and Iris, at that time being 5 and 3 years old.

This acousmatic version of Phonai may be diffused in stereo format.
