Most of the looping in this piece was trivial, digital versions of tape loops, but there was one section that's kind of interesting. I was using a utility program, written by Gareth Loy, called "sfplay." This was external to the cmusic environment and was meant as a way to audition sound files and to find edit points. You could specify the beginning and end points of a segment, the sampling rate, and the number of playback repetitions. You could also specify a "nudge" value so that you could "walk" the playback window forward and back in time to find the edit point. I started using this technique as a sort of performance technique, moving the playback window through a sound file in incremental fashion. The result was a pulsating vocal burst that migrated slowly through a spoken phrase. >YOU ARE AS ALWAYS A FOUNTAIN OF KNOWLEDGE, HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF >WRITING >A BOOK ON THE SUBJECT????
