The electroacoustic piece Etapper (‘stages’) is based on a text selected from the novel Kontrapunktisk by the Norwegian writer Ole Robert Sunde. In the piece the spoken and whispered sounds from the writers reading of the text have been transformed, mainly by the use of digital and analog filtering, echo and reverb techniques. Transitions of noise, also derived from these vocal sounds, have been used to mark the hidden transfigurations that lead the development from one stage to the next.
Etapper was selected at the 2nd International Rostrum of Electroacoustic Music (IREM) in Stockholm (1988).
