about the record

Beatriz Ferreyra was one of the few female concrète composers whose work spanned from the second half of the 20th century and beyond. Her work, which is still very much an active investigation, is simultaneously complex and elegantly simple. Often drawing upon a singular object of focus, Ferreyra’s use of tape and other forms of manipulation radically reconfigure her chosen sound materials, opening them outward.

Canto+ collects works from almost 40 years of her life in music and pays homage to her unerring interests in dynamism, rhythm, voice, and the morphic potentials of concrète materials. Two of the works are also dedicated to close friends: "Jingle Bayle’s" to François Bayle and "Au revoir l’Ami" to Bernard Bashet. This edition picks up where Echos+ leaves off and opens her sound worlds even further.
