I think you mean Alvin Lucier.
I tried the pipes in front of speakers thing for a performance piece once.
didn't work shockingly well, but the source sound was interesting, so it
was still interesting to listen to.
http://www.casaninja.com/concert/lizard.htmlI dropped the sheet metal part and it turned out that the speakers in the
pipes were loud enough so that we didn't want to have mics in ther other
end for addtional amplication. I think this would be more interesting
recorded than played live.
