"Once More" in CoF Minor by Mikhail Karikis is an experimental song for which the composer re-arranged an electroacoustic piece he created in 2004 and recorded new vocals. The song is composed for two violins, harpsichord, saxophone, electronics and voice in a baroque juxtaposition of extreme dynamics, pitch and tempo. It is part of a series of works in which he uses voice as "sound-material." Clusters of whispers, cries and groans are some of the vocal gestures he employs.
