Section 02
Methods
Prepared strings, tape, and playing a record player. Every entry here is about the work, never about a person.
-
Preparing a guitar
Objects placed between and on the strings change the instrument into a set of unpredictable resonators. What is reliable about it and what is not.
-
Bowing a string
Sustaining a note on an instrument built to decay.
-
Tape as an instrument
Loops, speed changes and layering treated as playing rather than editing.
-
The turntable as a source
A record player operated as an instrument rather than a playback device.
-
Room as reverb
Recording a space on purpose instead of adding one later.
