Ricardo Arias on "Letra Menuda (Small Print) # 2":
In Colombian radio stations most advertisements end with a sped-up voice uniteligibly detailing the conditions and restrictions that apply to what the publicity just promised —the equivalent to the small print found in legal contracts. The piece takes a number of these recordings and develops a series of short variations on them, focusing on their phonetic/sonic qualities. The piece is playful and hopefully also somewhat interesting and entertaining.
