Wu Chi

Description: Recording of Adolfo Nunez's Wu Chi. This work is based on impressions derived from the own sonority of the flute. The main point is to modify it by electronic devices and differing sound effects. Basically all the sound processing techniques used come from the transposition and delay. With the transposition it is possible to get thicker melodic lines and parallel chords and by the delay also thicker melodic lines, imitations and other special effects.
