Audio 1: “El Descubrimiento del Fuego” (“The Discovery of Fire”), a phonetic poem by Clemente Padín, first published in 1967 (Figure 1), first performed and live recorded by Luis Bravo in 1989. This version was published in 2014 as part of the collective studio album En la vuelta de la voz.

Audio 3: In “Intervention 11” I worked first with the unvoiced gestures, then only with the voiced, and finally with mixed gestures superimposed.

Audio 2: In this 10 seconds-passage different type of gestures are present: 84-86, 89, 91 and 93 are non-vocalic since no frequency (as pitch) spectra is present; 87 and 90 are mixed; and 88 and 92 are only vocalic gestures (see Figure 2 in the background of this exhibition).

Audio 4 “Intervention 15” is the product of 130 superpositions of the original sound poem (from the 130 vocal gestures), but with variable and close entries taken from average, longer and shorter gestures and pauses duration.
