Iops 3

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Anders Blomqvist's Iops 3. The composer has written a description of the story of the piece as follows: The intergalax IOPS3 spacecraft is no larger than a seed, and yet is equipped with an array of media detectors, collected information storage, communications equipment and personnel. The main character of the story makes a navigation error, and is sucked into the large ventilation system of the Munich brewery. (GMS in Stockholm). He sends distress signals to the main ship, but receives back, with great disappointment, the hard-to-decipher word "continue".
