Recordings
The recording of “Now, Miss!” was made in February 1973 on the basis of Beckett’s radioplay (Embers). In this composition – similarly to Beckett’s play – we hear the dialogue of two people sitting on a beach. János Négyesy plays the violin, I play on an organ transformed with a Synthi A. The original recording was remixed, supplemented with the sound of the sea, in 2002.
