<< 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.
