DESCRIPTION:
Film by Sabrina Siegel

Music by Marcelo Toledo

Composer Marcelo Toledo's Aliento/Arrugas (Breath/Furrows) is a sonic
exploration of the instrument(Flute) using
the breathing of the performer as an element
of organic expression. Inhaling and exhaling
generate a continuum made out of a sound
gamut from colored noise to complex granular
sounds obtained by the dense combination of
several sound productions. Flutter tounge,tounge
noise, percussivie sound, singing and playing
simultaneously, create a textural/timbrical sonic
world where the flute functions as a filter, a
masking devise, and a resonance body.

Aliento/Arrugas
was premiered by Ulla Suokko
in New York in March 1998
