Recording of alcides lanza's Voo. The lyrics of this composition are primarily in Portuguese, but the composer specifically chose to play with the source material, basing lyrics on poems which appear in NO OUVIDO DO TEMPO/NO OLVIDO DO TEMPO, a remarkable book of poetry by the Brazilian poet and composer Gil Nuno Vaz.

The two computer programs used are CAMUS and a format Synthesizer.
