Program Note

The piece p(M) is written for solo Voice and electronics, but the soloist part may be performed by other human voice types as well. The soloist part is quite free and aleatory in regard of timing. The piece is based on an unfinished, some three decades earlier, draft Minx 'n' Millepede for mezzo-soprano and harpsichord.
Excluding the few seconds AI welcome words, the electronics part of the work p(M) is written with C++ and a synthesis software built by the author.
