about

This recording is the result of an experiment utilizing 2 audio delay units connected in series. In this case, a vintage 1978 Univox EC100 tape echo was fed into a 1990 BOSS SE-50 digital multi-effects processor. The output was then recorded directly to a 1989 Mitsubishi HS-U80 Hi-Fi VCR. This is the entire gear inventory used for this recording. The EC100 was used to generate short delay feedback tones by cranking the feedback to maximum and then the pitch was modified by using the delay speed control. The EC100 output volume was used to control the amount of signal fed into the SE-50. The SE-50 was set with a multiple delay configured to use long staggered delays with a slow decay so that tones would be stretched out and sustained almost indefinitely. A long, deep reverb was also used on the SE-50 to help smooth out the tones and blend them so that they sounded more resonant.

Recording of this piece took place on March 3, 1994 and was improvised in one take with no further post production or overdubs. It was thought that the master recording had been lost, but it turned up in a recent search though various old VHS audio masters. It was remastered for online release on November 12, 2015.

As this recording was taken from a VHS tape over 20 years old, there are inevitably some audio artifacts such as signal dropout which are common with this medium. Efforts have been made to correct and remove as many of these as practical, although some instances remain due to the limits of the remastering process and lack of more sophisticated tools for finer editing. It is hoped that these do not prove to be more than minor blemishes upon an otherwise intriguing work.

All materials conceived and executed by Stephen Ugo Rosin.
