about

This piece’s title suggests a paring down of parts – approaching a catalogue or itinerary of constituent materials. At the same time, it implies that the results of such a process will reveal the essential. In these refined materials we find a new and prominent role in Kayn's sound world for speech and human communication. But buried in the residual hiss and detritus of telephonic technology through which these ancient voices converse (and, of course, the Institute of Sonology’s studios resembled a kind of telephone exchange for the sonic aesthete), a pulsing electronic heart still beats, albeit at densely alternating frequencies and amplitudes.
