Re: LOOPING a DRY CLEANING SHOP (Graeme Revell)
This topic brings to my mind Graeme Revell's great 1986(?) album "The
Insect Musicians" where he took recordings he made of various insects
after 2 years of travel he did around the world and took those
recordings and manipulated the sound waves via an earlier sampler
(and whatever else he used) to create the sound of "exotic new
instruments" that were used in the songs he created. And on most (or
all?) of the songs, he apparently also dubbed in the actual sounds by
some of the insects which I thought was a nice and "respectful"
touch. :-)
A truly wonderful album that also came with a great booklet telling
the whole history of the project and the technical and other details.
It is still available online somewhere,
both the original LP and also the excellent CD box set reissue that
had another previous LP release which was based on the music of the
very strange Adolph Wolfli,
but no insects were involved, TMK.:-) (ye'll just have do yer own
research on Wolfli to see what I mean by "strange".)
Cheers,

...of course, that's only a nitpick about the term "linear"
What's interesting is if you can turn a sound half way
into another.
