____________________

The tape part was realised in [bad word] #39;s studio, practically all sounds on tape were derived from flute-, [bad word]  and clarinet sounds. My goal was to create a dialogue between live [bad word] and tape in such a way that one is a counterpoint to the other. The tape is actually the fourth performer and musically speaking, of equal importance. The blending of the [bad word] and tape is intentional, makings it sometimes difficult to distinguish one from the other. The title refers to the way sound is produced on the [bad word] involved and the way these sounds are, so to speak, given back to the [bad word] after they have been manipulated electronically.
