That was indeed 8-channel, with the speakers in an equally-spaced octagonal configuration. I made the piece specifically for that situation - it was inspired by Larry Austin's restoration of Cage's "Williams Mix" (the first 8-channel piece) and by Larry's own "Williams [re]Mix[ed]." It was fun to present all three pieces back-to-back, with Larry and I telling the stories of the pieces' genesis. "Frikkit!" was made in a fairly simple manner, with no dynamic spatialization at all. I used unaltered cricket and frog sounds and arranged them statically in space. Any movement that was perceived was either inherent in the source recordings or was a result of the "call and response" between sounds in different channels. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com
