Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Claude Jordan's Cithare. Work made up of 3 movements, whose basic material is fragments, samples taken from a traditional instrument frequently used in German-speaking Switzerland: the "Hackbret" or "Citre". Much of the sound processing has been done around transposition and reverse playback bringing an unusually resonant and percussive aspect of the original instrument.
