Recording of Aki Pasoulas' Ka-Boom !. This work is based on a recording the composer made of a fireworks display. The composition employs recorded voice that imitates fireworks and the text that was compiled is a combination of onomatopoeia, made-up language and words used in comic books.

Recording of Juan Parra Cancino's fA1LiN(n)G. This is a work for harpsichord and live electronics that was dedicated to Anne Faulborn.

Using a limited set of musical gestures, the time structure of the piece is a journey between different possible timbres, accents, resonances and frequency zones.

Recording of Panayiotis Kokoras' Shatter Cone. This is a work for violin and electronics and was commissioned by the MATA Festival 2004 to be performed by Mari Kimura. The title refers to the way the sound of the violin is formed into sonic structures from the impact of the bow's pressure, speed, and position on the strings in combination with their register. The pre-recorded material comes only from violin sounds, transformed to keep the gestural and spectral data of the original sound while losing reference to the original.

Recording of Leif Brush's Earth-Star Songs. This work is considered a "stitching" of sounds and recordings taken from an array of the composer's analogue constructs and terrain instruments. These recordings have been paired with recordings produced by Jerry Chamkis' Kosmophone. The result is an inexhaustibly complex amalgamation of hard-edged terrestrial and tactile phenomena contrasted by cosmically sourced retro-futuristic synth interjections.
