Three Works for Live Electronics: Pulsers/Untitled /Phonemes

by David Tudor

Overview

A CD reissue of the original vinyl release. "Pulsers" (1976) is a delightful study of "the world of rhythms created electronically by analog circuitry" using "home-brew" electronics, incorporating an improvised tape on electronic violin by Takehisa Kosugi. "Untitled" (1972) is an experiment in multiple feedback loops in real spaces, recorded, mixed, and played back to loops in other spaces -- electronic music without oscillators or recorded natural sound materials. "Phonemes" (1981) is an additional piece to the original vinyl release, and uses a percussion generator and a vocoder with small discrete bands to take short sounds and lengthen them, or long sounds and shorten them, in a unique live interplay. ~ "Blue" Gene Tyranny
