about

...certainly invites itself to be played again and again, which I think is what music on a physical release should be all about, so I would prefer this one over the previous. Blonk has successfully re-invented what he is doing, and explores new roads here. - Vital Weekly, Netherlands

Polyphtong is a purely vocal piece with no electronically generated sounds. It was conceived as a quadraphonic piece for live performance. It was premiered at Stanford University in March of 2012, and solely based on live voice sounds fed into a MaxMSP patch. The origin of the title is: an extension of ‘diphtong’. In the summer of 2013 I radically reworked the piece to create the stereo version presented on this CD.

All sounds heard in it are based on my vocal and other mouth sounds. In some cases attacks were changed, which make the sounds less recognizable as vocal. Algorithmic composition was used to create the layering of sounds. - Jaap Blonk
