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 analogue 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).

To Torben Snekkestad
The idea of using the rich and ‘oblique’ overtone spectrum as a resource for building up a harmonic universe is carried on from the tape piece Mono mood(S) (1997). In a soundscape where the pure (sinewaves) meets noise (distorted sax elements), the saxophonist fights for room, and changes between controlling and being controlled. The interference between the pure and the twisted leads the music through different moods, where the main atmosphere through the entire piece still remains the same.
