This work was realized by means of a Macintosh SE using the Sound Designer II software, and edited directly in DAT digital recorder.

All mixages were made with the computer. No montage was done of the different sequences but they were recorded consecutively. The work is divided into 10 consecutive sections, involving a character of movement, brightness, rhythm and plenty of humour. All this is made with the sounds of kitchen tools, and the mouth. As a matter of fact, it's a real piece of computer-concrete music.
The principal structures are made by granulation of the different sound objects. This effect constitutes the basis of a continuous speech, that is broken consecutively by extended or contracted objects.
Basically, it goes from the very high register to the lower one. The materials appear and disappear constantly interrupted by new ones. At the same time, the rhythmic speech is broken abruptly and renewed by elements of different colours. The form develops elliptic curves between chaotic sections and classical ones. So, it passes by a 'canon' of spoons, through a glass interlude, to a 'Brasilian samba' and so on. (Elsa Justel)
