"Es Zas" composed 1993, originally intended to be presented using the Octophonic Sound System, re-mixed for stereo configuration. "Todo Es Uno" composed 1995, derives all its sounds from two sources: the energy signals from a pulsar 175 light years from Earth, as recorded by the Arecibo Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico; and the transference of sound of several aminoacids from the human organism, as registred by a Canadian researcher. "Ashram" composed 1991, commissioned by [a543508]. All of the sounds on the tape part were produced via electronic processing of acoustic mukha veena sounds. ℗ & © 1998, oodiscs inc.
