forms of supple particles, balafon http://www.alansondheim.org/bctrip2078.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/balafon.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/balafon2.mp3 Last night John Emigh passed a small 12-key balafon to me. I play primarily with my fingernails (balafon); there is also a mallet experiment (balafon2). Processing on balafon involves revrev, and on balafon2, revrev, inverse dynamics, and reverse tunneling. It's more a curiosity. balafon.mp3 is exciting - as with all of this work, earphones are useful; the sound goes into extreme bass - ideally one should reverse time - inhale the syncopation - invert the body - holes, membranes - a glance - stroke- dance - ( sound swallows itself here - time reasserts - death is always and fundamentally at the end, asymptotic - )
