Blind Tape Quartets
0 plays (0 listeners)
Instructions and suggestions for the open calls for musicians:
A 4-track tape recorder will be ready for you and 10 minutes of your performance. There will be a microphone and a line input option.
You will be unaware of the people who played before, or will be playing after you. One day after the recording, a recorded cassette would be put on sale as a limited edition.
- bring your own instrument (if you don’t have one, bring whatever you can - we can mike it, and there will be some small instruments to try)
- imagine that you are playing in a quartet, but you can’t hear others while recording your part
- think about your dynamics as a part of a quartet
- silence can be a special friend this time. not everyone should be playing/talking/singing all the time (but the risk is up to you)
- if you are an electronic musician, try limit your output to a certain instrument, not the final mix (maybe you will not be the only one electronic musician in a quartet)
- if you are a writer, a singer, or a voice artist - prepare the text which can fit in 10 minutes
