Tunnel Sounding

New grooves were cut during a performance at Send + Receive: a festival of sound in Winnipeg, October 24, 2004. http://www.sendandreceive.org/

Groove was performed in a loading-bay tunnel at the Artspace building in Winnipeg. The tunnel was about 15 feet wide and 60 feet long. I used a custom turntable that I built for extreme slow speed and two pioneer turntables plugged through a DJ mixer. About 20 minutes into the show a heckler pushed through the crowd with a bicycle, stopped infront of the turntables and said "I can do this louder and cheaper on my laptop at home." Then he rode off past the limousine into the darkness. I cranked up the volume (just a little bit).

The disks I cut in Winnipeg formed the final set of CDs for the edition. There's something different about the way they sound (compared to the cuts I did in the studio) - a bit more reverberant and ethereal.
