"soul murder" (1982/83) used tape loops and regenerating tape delay as part of a battery of editing and processing techniques. The sound sources were about 50/50 analog electronic (Buchla 200 series) and processed voice and breath sounds. The processing consisted of tape speed manipulation, analog gating, filtering, frequency shifting (AM), tape delay, and a digital playback hack. The latter technique was performed on the VAX computer at CARL. Gareth Loy had developed a utility program called "sfplay" that allowed you to step through short segments of a sound file in order to aurally find edit points. I simply pushed this technique to its limits by incrementally stepping through a short vocal recording and stretching it to about a minute in length. There were also a number of choreographed movement sequences that used repetitive actions, as well as some projected images derived from concrete poetry concepts. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com http://www.cybmotion.com/aliaszone http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/directory.cgi?autostart=rz
