About this composition:

EGT was composed by Ricardo Dal Farra, working in collaboration with Swedish guitar player Peter Söderberg.

On this piece, sounds coming from a steel-strings guitar were transformed in real time using digital audio signal processors, and then spatially distributed to six different channels around the concert hall. All sounds heard on this tape were performed live by Peter Söderberg on guitar, and Ricardo Dal Farra on real time digital sound processings and spatial modulation.

This stereo tape was recorded live during a concert at the Musikaliska Akademien of Stockholm, Sweden, as part of the Stockholmsfestivalen För ElektroAkustisk Musik XI, on August of 1989.

EGT was awarded an honorary mention in the "Live Electroacoustic Music" category at the 18th International Electroacoustic Music Competition of Bourges, France, held in 1990.

Acerca de la obra:

“EGT” fue compuesta en 1989 por Ricardo Dal Farra.

La materia prima sonora, generada por una guitarra con cuerdas metálicas, se transforma en tiempo real mediante un transpositor digital, una unidad de retardo y un mezclador. Así "EGT" surge como la interacción directa entre dos músicos, Peter Söderberg en guitarra y Ricardo Dal Farra en los procesos electroacústicos.

"EGT" fué premiada en 1990 en el Concurso Internacional de Música Electroacústica de Bourges, Francia, con una mención honorífica en la categoría 'música electrónica en vivo'.

Esta grabación fué registrada en concierto, en agosto de 1989, durante el estreno de "EGT" en la Real Academia Musical de Estocolmo, Suecia, en ocasión del Stockholmsfestivalen För ElektroAkustisk Musik XI.
