Multilingual Frame by Rangga Purnama Aji

I consider this piece as my first electronic multichannel work, using ambisonic format. This piece is written for solo vocal, musical gears, and live electronic.

Multilingual Frame is the name that i choose as the title because, i want to make a piece of music that act as a frame which filled by many languages, timbres, genres, quotations, and musical textures.

In this piece, you'll hear many languages are used and manipulated. I was inspired by the diversity of people around me who could speak more than one language. Then I decided that i want to include that in my piece.

So what i did to gather the multiple languages material is, I asked some of my friends who could speak multiple languages to do a question and answer session. Before the session, i already prepared some list of questions for them to answer using all of the languages that they know. During the session I recorded their voices when answering the questions and use it as a material for this piece.
