Abstract

"Major C consists of a C major chord, the individual notes of the chord recorded in real time ( although some tracks were recorded at slow speeds), and multi-tracked to create a massive layer of sound. The process was primarily concerned with creating subtle changes in timbre, attack and intonation within the overall sound of the chord. Major C was initially recorded at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music in 1980." -- Simone de Haan
