BlackBox Loops
This performance piece is an exploration of the sonic possibilities of obsolete sound technology. Antiquated effects processors have their outputs sent via a small mixer into their inputs so that a feedback loop is established and can be manipulated. A stereo line is split out from this loop so that the effects are audible. In addition to the obsolete units, hacked guitar pedals and acoustic instruments are also introduced into the system to direct and affect the sonic output.
