An absolute landmark piece of experimental 20th century music by the late US experimental musician Alvin Lucier. What started as an attempt to smooth out his stutter resulted in one of the most genuis and iconic pieces of sound art ever conceived - top copy (NM)
"I am sitting in a room different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice and I am going to play it back into the room again and again until the resonant frequencies of the room reinforce themselves so that any semblance of my speech, with perhaps the exception of rhythm, is destroyed. What you will hear, then, are the natural resonant frequencies of the room articulated by speech. I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to smooth out any irregularities my speech might have."
