Slow Down happened when I was working on a large radio piece (Jerusalem-Rome-
Kushadasi) based on recordings made with my parents. After some manipulations 
I got this glorious sound file that did not have a place in that piece but rather 
wanted to be a piece of its own. After some editing and  additional work it turned 
into Slow Down. It was awarded an honorary mention in the International 
Electroacoustic Music Competition "MUSICA NOVA '99".
