Prog. notes: KYOO was composed in 1968 and won an award at the National Arts Festival. The title, which means 'echoes,' refers to the formal concept of the work: one sound giving rise to a family of sounds which in their turn engender other families, etc. There are various sound sources: piano, brass, percussion, and electronic devices. The instrumental sounds are heard sometimes in their original form and sometimes transformed electronically. The piano in particular is treated in a variety of ways: played normally, played according to the techniques of the 'prepared piano,' and finally amplified and transformed instantaneously through microphones installed inside the frame.
