About this episode

From James: Basically, it's a 6-channel system. When Eric played, he sometimes had 6 different things going, several, some stereo, sent to different channels.When Hélène Prévost played, she only deals in mono, so I duplicated the sound onto every channel. She sometimes had several sound sources playing, but because every speaker is different, and continually randomly switching, and imparts its own color/timbre, it was as if she was spatializing each sound separately. A really cool illusion. I had the pleasure of sitting right next to her (and Eric), in the center of the space, while they practised/explored the system for a couple of hours. We listened to: 1. Art Jackson's Atrocity – Shaft In Afghanistan 2. M. Zalla – Produzione 3. Peter Gordon – God's a Man 4. Hsia Yu & Yan Jun – Five Short Poems 5. OOIOO – Don Ah 6. Rocks & Waves Song Circle – I (Rocks & Waves) 7. ai/ia/af – Ia 11 8. Jean Langlais – Suite brève, Op. 38 : Plainte Shouts: Matt Robidoux: https://mattrobidoux.com/ Stéphane Claude: https://aelab.com/ Gavin John Sheehan - https://cstm-jahb.bandcamp.com/ Blake Hargreaves-https://fluorescentfriends.substack.com/
