Re: new experimental music project
Well, there's nothing new under the sun . . . and I'm sure it didn't
originate with me either for that matter.
But I did a performance in 1989 in Ventura CA, with lovely Bay Area
vocallist Liz Stuart, called "Vox in Box" where she sang her own
interpretation of a non-standard graphic "score" I'd concocted for her
while I looped her performance with a pair of Electro Harmonix 16-second
delays, ring modulators and envelope followers . . . along with a Roland
pitch-to-MIDI converter and an array of synths and samplers selectively
shadowing her vocal gymnastics..
I've wanted to do it again ever since but just haven't found the
opportunity -- and I've sold off (or given away) most of that old gear in
the meantime.
