About this Piece

"When Tania León set out to compose Axon for violin and interactive computer in 2002, she immediately envisioned the work on two levels. The technically demanding violin part, notated in the style of modernist concert music, represents the first level. The second level is an electronics part containing audio samples from recordings of previous compositions by León. 

Nearly all the samples are from Batéy, a collaborative work for vocal ensemble and percussion by León and Michel Camilo (1989), and at least one is from A La Par for piano and percussion (1986)." - Maja Cerar
