Mesias Maiguashca's “The Spirit Catcher” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 1994, category Digital Musics & Sound Art.
The point of departure of the composition 'The Spirit Catcher' is 5 spectra with different ambitus and registers, but with many 'common partials' to assure harmonic cohesion. The 'sound object generator' created the events according to predefined parameters. The 'leading-parameter' is 'Klangfarbe'.
