Touchings<\/strong>
\nKif Kif, 1995
\nPractically all the music on this disc is natural based on voices and sounds of insects. Parts where synthesizer was used are specially marked. I am convinced that everything in nature is more or less audible and that humans are only more or less successfully imitating nature. For this reason I decided to use primeval sounds to make music, of which I like those of insects the most. In most cases the sounds were not processed with special effects.
