Program Note

Prita is a composition for guitar and electronics. The electronic component does not produce independent sounds or alter the guitar's tone; rather, its sole purpose is to record segments of the performance in real time and play them back at designated moments, creating layered textures. As the live music unfolds, these layers accumulate, forming intricate loops that evolve into a complex canon through the use of an advanced looping system.

The recording utilizes binaural technology, a technique designed to create a 3-D stereo sound experience, making the listener feel as though they are in the room with the performers. Prita is structured in four movements.
