"Nature Papure"
(1984) originally for Voice and Tape, I dumped the voice-part and kept the tape. Musique Concrête, created with a tape machine that was on a long loop, the erase-head was disabled (thanks to my good friend Karl Fusaris), and the only source of sound was two wine-glasses being rubbed and clinked. Manipulating the loop/reel speeds during recording, as well as playing around with tape saturation is how I got the sounds you hear. This piece was later used in another work digitally (“We, the Ratatatats...”). In one movement, no score. [4'00]
I loved that old Sony TC-377...why oh why did I ever get rid of it...?
