Programme notes
f/v: a minimal pair of phonemes (voiceless/voiced) whose relationship implies the larger notion of noise/resonance, given form, here, through various noises injected through a resonating tube.
f/v employs 24- and 31- tone tuning systems, as well as a few twelve-tone intervals who remain as guideposts in an unfamiliar landscape of microtonal crevices and scattered fragments of language.
