Performed in Budapest, Vigado
"The composition arose from an experiment with sinus functions controlling pitches. While listening to hundreds of short examples where twenty-four sound gererators created a sinus burst of frequencies, the composer observed a rhythmically pulsing phenomenon with certain configurations of frequencies. The piece has been developed, created, generated out of these configurations.
Despite these technicalities it is a very emotional piece. Hence the title: Sinus-Coitus. It is a reminder of the original and necessary unity between thinking and feeling. Evidence of this unity is contained in the Bible where the Hebrew word 'jadah' expresses both coitus and recognition. Even in Latin 'coitus' has the same meaning: "cognoscere est coitus cum cognibili" (Francesco Patrizzi 1529-1597). " Understanding is inseparable from the object of understanding".
