Bob Ostertag
A solo work for live electronics by Bob Ostertag. The first movement of Sooner or Later is built from a recording made in El Salvador during the civil war, of a young boy burying his father. The piece has been described by High Performance Magazine as an “audio microscope” of the words spoken by the boy during this emotional experience.
