Important remark concerning multichannel pieces:
The stereo versions of the multichannel pieces (specially the acousmatic compositions) should be regarded as reduced versions of these works. We loose by listening to them, compared with the originals, as much as we loose looking to a portrait of someone instead of personally speaking to him/her. Nevertheless, they serve as an audio-documentation of these spatial compositions.
