so an acoustic recording, in a shower booth sound bounces around and goes up until, eventually, it escapes. so i'm figuring we want the tape recorder on the uppermost... soap holder thing. if the bell had functioned, i would have put it on the floor -- lower in the mix. the casio i would have held, so it would have been closer to the tape recorder and not drowned out by the bell -- higher in the mix. this is about when i lost it in giggles, i had never even considered mixing via the physical arrangement of objects. it actually feels quite natural to me then i got it together and thought: if i wear clothes in the shower will it sound different? probably how would you put such a mix together? |

this seems like the sort of thing an orchestra conductor would know something about, come to think of it. that the orchestra has sections, the concert hall has acoustics, and these are for specific reasons [that i don't know at all]. mozart's organ music was partly inspired by the acoustics of the space [npr told me so]. conductors strike as narrow and difficult people, though, and it's a challenge to phrase this question to one in a way i'd get useful output. so i think i would go with: if you had to arrange a very small orchestra in a shower stall, where would you put all the sections? ...like in "honey i shrunk the kids" after two beers, i think an orchestra conductor would answer at that point. and i would get 1) something about why orchestra sections are where they are 2) something about my shower mix |

i texted lewis, and asked him how he'd arrange the orchestra in the shower. he said to put the orchestra on top of the toilet. i have ascertained that lewis is not an orchestra conductor. then, right, that biomechanics physics class i took -- if you scaled an ant up to b-movie size, it would collapse under its own weight. similarly, if you shrunk an orchestra down, well, the physical wavelengths of the noises will follow and that completely changes the acoustics... ...but that's down the hall in physics, so the orchestra conductor wouldn't think of it. |

"on the wires of our nerves" that was the first add n to (x) album, and also a book. on... something in the neighborhood. then next time i was at the library they freaking had it and i checked it out. along with twelve other things, three of which i read, and, by a slim margin, none of which i got a late fee on. and in one of those: "brain, you are tough" moments, it's like: NO. i mean YES. i mean maybe -- go check out the book i didn't read last time, again? but it is related |

2002ish, add n to (x) introduced me to electroacoustic music, musique concrète. john cage, my dad told a good story, i got the gist of the man late 90s. pierre henry sounds like fatboy slim and he's the one i am truly mystified by |
