    This recording uses samples from Alvin Lucier's "Music On A Long Thin Wire" and Le Monte Young's "Poem for Chairs, Tables, Benches, etc." I made minimal changes and edits to the two recordings for my specific emotional expression. At the very most, this can thought of as a tribute to Lucier and Young, and at the very least, this is my creative play of artistic expression using simple sampling techniques.
    Along with a video, this piece will be submitted to A.I.M. (Academic Integrity Matters). This is "NOT COOL".
    Purchasable with gift card

sound credits & sound talk:

Le Monte Young - Poem for Chairs, Tables, Benches, etc. (1960)

(chairs, tables, benches and unspecified sound sources)

Chairs, tables and benches are dragged across the stage according to pre-determined timing. John Cale paid an homage to this piece when he dragged a chair in the studio during the recording of the Velvet Underground's European Son (at about 0'55'').

Alvin Lucier - Music On A Long Thin Wire (1977)

Music on a Long Thin Wire is constructed as follows: the wire is extended across a large room, clamped to tables at both ends. The ends of the wire are connected to the loudspeaker terminals of a power amplifier placed under one of the tables. A sine wave oscillator is connected to the amplifier. A magnet straddles the wire at one end. Wooden bridges are inserted under the wire at both ends to which contact microphones are imbedded, routed to the stereo sound system. The microphones pick up the vibrations that the wire imparts to the bridges and are sent through the playback system. By varying the frequency and loudness of the oscillator, a rich variety of slides, frequency shifts, audible beats and other sonic phenomena may be produced.

- Alvin Lucier (1992)

However, Lucier admits a long thin wire is only used to impress, a short thin wire would have worked as well if not better, and he discovered that the best way to produce variation in the sonic phenomena was to pick a setting and leave the setup alone. He praised David Rosenboom for his ability to pick interesting settings
