This electroacoustic piece was composed using two basic materials: the acoustic sound of a prepared hurdy gurdy, recorded in a room 6m2 longer, and processed sound since this first recording.
sometimes in this sound intermingle sinuidal sounds like perfect complement.
this is the stereo version. it's available the quadraphonic version using two tracks with prepared hurdy gurdy and two for electronics.
the sound could be the expression of the four basic elements wich created life.
