Mimoyecques
Recording of Elizabeth Anderson's Mimoyecques. The piece consists of two sets of recordings and electronics. One set of recordings would be made in and around the fortress and would serve as the base where the imprisonment, death, and transfiguration themes would be built. The second recording is in the languages of the 18 nationalities of the laborers. The central section of the work illustrates the idea of terror freedom is suddenly, inexplicably removed. The final section explores the concept of the departure of the souls of the victims.
11 september
Recording of Carl Bergstrøm-Nielsen's "11 september." The text is from a document called "What is MIR?" which was sent out illegally in Chile in 1974 and from the appeal of MIR two years after the taking over by the junta, on September 11, 1975.

The second section deals with the document as a medium of discussion. At the end of this section, the "media-environment," "almost as a magazine on foreign affairs," is broken by shouts from the demonstration at the Bastad which were heard directly in Chilean TV. The third section is about the appeal of MIR as a direct request to the audience: to isolate the junta through a boycott of Chilean products and through demanding from national politicians to break the silence which has long been maintained, among other places in the United Nations of which Chile is still a member. Inspiration for the piece came from the composer's participation in the activities of the …
