lockerungen
a composition for five musicians and computer model of the human vocal tract by volkmar klien / release date: june 2006 / aufstieg av / aav 0601



loosenings - a strict daily routine of loosening.
Inevitably lacking discipline, the routine gets neglected; sleep is nurtured.
Still, once in a while a nice achievement.

Five instruments, one mathematical model of the human vocal tract.
Effortless control over muscles, breathing never an issue.
'Cricothyroid sl0wly from 0,1 to 0,17!' - Levator Palatini under highly virtual tension. Yet the sphincter is ever loose.

Many thanks to Herrn Dr. Serner for the title; on loan to be returned shortly.
