Programme note
Years ago I saw a satellite moving quick across the night sky. Imagine being able to soar up there? Hoping to discover a beautiful starry angel, but instead finding a cold heartless machine.
Nearly all the sounds on the recorded accompaniment are derived from oboe tones, multiphonics, key clicks etc.
