Abstract

"This is a piece using the distinctly 'low budget' sounds of gramophone-record generated electronics, overlaid with a repetitious text conjuring up the imagery of children's play songs and the like. The text's subject matter is the composer's concern for the activity of 'listening' to be seen as an active rather than a passive one. I have used this subject in other works as well, most notably in ny cassette piece The way I see it. This piece was written in 1985, and is usually performed live. This studio version was made in 1987." -- Ernie Althoff
