Aniox (7’50“)

A fantasy surrounding the theme of animal voices, Aniox is an exploration of the musique concrete bridge between music and noise.
Four animal voices are treated as instruments: sad cock, cheerful dogs, innocent birds and angry lions. The main role is played by the cock. The work falls into two sections. The first section develops from the statement of the cock’s plaintive whine to an innocent birdsong and gradually changes to a deep sigh. After a brief pause, the opening drumbeat recapitulated to lead the same material through rhythmic variation toward the second section’s climax, led by the lion’s angry howl.
A coda recapitulates fragment of preceding sad cock’s plaintive whine.
