Encanto (spanish word for enchantment or charm) is a piece for chamber orchestra and a pre-made tape. Tape part (or nowadays a CD), containing both synthesized (C-sound) and concrete (glass) sounds, is not heard all the time, but appears occasionally to complete the hearing experience. The work contains numerous microtones, including 1/8-steps. The use of the microtones produces strange sounding harmonies, which are actually partials of a high pile of the natural overtones.
