The Golden Door

about

This is a performance featuring a tanpuriform drone, but with a varying pattern. Over the top of it is a call response with a player-refreshed rhythm (replayed every four cycles) through a long-duration analog delay. This forces the player to restate (with a naturally varying emphasis) the rhythmic pattern. The overall pulse is set by a shortish field recording loop of a distant train whistling.

Guitaret Live-looping via Echorec and Deja Vu, with a pitch-variant tanpura-like drone made by a EH Super-Ego routed through a Digitech WhammyDT controlled by a Molten Voltage MIDI T pitch sequencer sidecar, and then returned via through a Korg Pandora 4a.

All music routed through a Logidy EPSi feature an impulse in a stone courtyard with a pond and a Chinese Warrior in Meadows, South Australia.

Field recording collage played as a sequence on Roland SP404SX.

Interested in orchestration using field recordings, per the great John Cage's suggestions (1937).
The pieces are all pataphysical book reviews. They consist of musical essays on books of the same title that haven't been written, but should have.
