Aw/wW

Description: Recording of Miloš Petrović's Aw/wW ("Anton with-without Webern") for tape, interpreted by Ruža Petrović, Paul Pignon, and Miloš Petrović.

He places this work in a space defined by primal elements of different media, which allows for a greater number of operations on the speech-gesture relationship, while contributing to the cohesiveness of the result. Magnetic tape-transfected … more

Clair-Obscur

In the composition, we find this game, realized in the sound matter, on the surface of which there are perpetual changes of nuances, colors and rhythm. Throughout today's western idiom and the technical means employed, we can hear distant echoes o… more

Dictée

The transformed sounds on tape create a "larger than life" image of the recorder through its harmonic drones, its extensions of human breath, its pipe-like resonances and percussive… more
