<< eno interview about him having set up an array of
different length tubes in front of a speaker cabinet to get different sound
colorations. >>


hello!
well, i can`t address myself to the attribution from eno but way back in the
late sixties, there was an article in electronic music review by robert
erickson ( if i remember correctly) about this same sort of thing. i`ll have
to dig the issue out and take another look. i even recall something from
popular electronics or a similar mag or the same late sixties vintage about
doing something similar to a microphone with straws cut to different lengths
and harnessed up to the mic element. even something as baroque as a mic and
speaker and different rooms, closets, carpeted, bare tile, etc. etc. offer
weird possibilities. listen to robert ashleys "i am sitting in a room" for an
example of that idea taken to the extreme.
best,
dave v.
