In 1969, composer Alvin Lucier created a work that’s half science demo, half wonderfully creepy art: he recorded and then re-recorded, his own voice, over and over, until it turned into nothing but noise. It’s the coolest thing you’ll hear today.
Lucier’s recording—”I Am Sitting in a Room”—banks on the fact that for any given room (the one you’re in now, your bedroom, the mayor’s office), there are certain frequencies of sound that’ll resonate above all others. Every time a recording is made inside this room, these frequencies slowly creep in over everything else—namely, Lucier’s voice. With each successive version, Lucier sounds more like a robot trapped in a tin box, until he sounds like nothing at all. It’s the audio equivalent of a xerox made of a xerox ad infinitum, and unlike anything you’ve heard. [Vimeo via Jad Abumrad]
And there was me half expecting to read about a new type of DRM.
You are not alone, almost like it is a purposely misleading headline. I thought this would be a cool read rather than just so matter of fact. Have a new year pledge not to be headline cunts.
I read the headline just fine. It said audio, not music.
I was under the belief that music was a subgroup of audio. But wouldn’t all audio need copyright control, like ‘audio books’.
Audio = Sound, esp. when recorded, transmitted, or reproduced: “audio equipment”.
And the winner for most pointless fucking comment of 2012 goes to…
William Shatner? With a stammer?
Isn’t this just feedback? I get this on skype whats the big deal :l
So, a similar kind of thing really. This was all done in Chernobyl in certain rooms. Four tracks each in a different room. Take a listen, you won’t be disappointed, but it is incredibly eerie. http://fonik.dk/works/4rooms.html
