Re: new experimental music project



Well, there's nothing new under the sun . . . and I'm sure it didn't 
originate with me either for that matter.

But I did a performance in 1989 in Ventura CA, with lovely Bay Area 
vocallist Liz Stuart, called "Vox in Box" where she sang her own 
interpretation of a non-standard graphic "score" I'd concocted for her 
while I looped her performance with a pair of Electro Harmonix 16-second 
delays, ring modulators and envelope followers . . . along with a Roland 
pitch-to-MIDI converter and an array of synths and samplers selectively 
shadowing her vocal gymnastics..

I've wanted to do it again ever since but just haven't found the 
opportunity -- and I've sold off (or given away) most of that old gear in 
the meantime.
