about

Entrainments 2 was composed for and performed in a specific wilderness site. Three performers prerecorded stream-of-consciousness descriptions and observations of the surrounding environment from three mountain peaks in the Cuyamaca Mountains of California. These recordings were subsequently mixed with static drones derived from an astrological charting for the time and location of the performance. Playback of these sounds occurred from portable cassette recorders with self-amplified loudspeakers and sufficient amplitude to be audible from the center of the performance configuration. In the center of the space was placed a computer programmed to sample and immediately output periodic sound blocks through a central loudspeaker. The input signal to the computer was from a parabolic microphone. A performer carried this microphone while walking slowly around the perimeter of a large central circle. This performer also recorded the overall performance with binaural microphones. Three other performers carried portable self-amplified oscillators while walking slowly around the perimeter of three outer circles. The performance took place at Azalea Glen, Cuyamaca State Park, California, on May 19, 1985.
