Agata Zubel’s “Parlando” and “Unisono I” rapidly juxtaposed sung vowels, consonant strings, and breath sounds to create a type of language without any text.Miguel Zazueta executed these quick changes with verve, a virtuosic performance enhanced by live electronics adding reverb and spatialization to his sounds.

It was scored for contrabass, and contrasted vigorous open string strums with ethereal harmonics played all the way below the fingerboard. Andrew Crapitto gave it a tasty performance, lightly enhanced by his own electronics.
