U. Kay Hytz are proud to present our new EP "Digitiphony" - an electro-orchestral 22 minute Digitiphony in 4 parts - Dance, Ambient, Trance and Euphoric. If you are reading this in 2008/2009 you may not have heard anything quite like it before...
- we think the first Digitiphonies were actually written at the end of the 20th Century - eg. works like Deep Purple's "Concerto for Group and Orchestra", Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds" amongst others (even the "Dr. Who" Theme - especially in it's 21st century reincarnation, but with it's roots firmly in the first BBC Radiophonic Workshop version... it's a bit short though..). For sure, composers all around the world are writing works that could be described as Digitiphonies and have been for some years....
- have you written or do you know of someone who has written music that could be called a Digitiphony ? If so, go to http://www.myspace.com/digitiphony add yourself as a friend and make sure you have excerpts from the piece on your myspace profile. Remember to get the composer's permission if it's not yours...
