COLLINS, NICOLAS - PEA SOUP (3"CD)
"A self-stabilizing network of circuitry nudges the pitch of audio feedback to a different resonant frequency every time the feedback starts to build. The familiar shriek is replaced with unstable patterns of hollow tones, a site-specific raga reflecting the acoustical personality of the room. These architectural melodies can be influenced by moving in the space, making other sounds, or even by letting in a draft of cold air. This recording took place in the reverb-drenched splendor of the Plasy Monastery, in the Czech Republic, during the 1999 "Festival Limbo 2." George Cremaschi gave a spirited performance on double bass."
