Originally sold for $777 in 2001 and with only 777 of them manufactured they are quite rare and are rapidly approaching cult status with their agressive and funky tones..."Rehearsing JOHN CAGE - VARIATIONS VI from Giorgio Sancristoforo on Vimeo.
For a Plurality of Sound Systems (Buchla200e, Radio, Tape Recorder, Max/MSP)
Score available at Edition Peters
The score is made of symbols printed on transparent plastic sheets,
the symbols set the number of available and possible sound systems
(a sound system is made of speakers, generators and components such as filters, modulators, amplifiers).
The symbols are dropped on a white sheet painted with a straight black line.
The axis of each symbol states whether the component or generator must change
or stand still (% of amount of change). Some changes are done manually, some other are made by control voltage. Amplification and surround pan are controlled (following the score) by max/MSP.
At a certain point the radio went outside the FM band, making just clicks and pops... :)
Recorded in binaural simulation, use headphones.
