Yellow 632 was written for the theatrical percussion trio, Rrrr.... It is scored for six mechanical toys amplified through loudspeakers placed around the audience. The basis for musical development is the speech pattern of the toys. In the course of the performance, the musicians begin embodying the mechanical features of the toys and ultimately liberate the voice mechanisms from their toy bodies.
