Mixing Notes

The orchestra and the voices should be sligthly and naturally amplified to create a coherent balance with the electronic part.

Ideally, this piece should be performed in a reverberant concert hall. If the venue acoustic is too dry, please add a quite long artificial reverberation time with a good quality reverberation device.
