about

Pleasure Circle (3:09, IL2)
HS: On this one Greg is playing recorders through his effects pedals. Lots of stereo cymbal patterns during the first minute.
GS: Well, technically I didn’t play the recorders during the session, this is off the source tape. It’s a good thing I put down so much recorder on that tape or we’d have next to none on these sessions- as previously described, the mic setup through the amp (and pedalboard) turned out to be almost useless. We got one short, VERY low volume piece this way (featured on an upcoming CD) but that was it. This way, despite its not being live, a) I had no memory of what I’d played, b) I was still able to manipulate it- actually, to do so to a much greater degree than I would have been able to if I’d been playing it at the same time. So as in some other cases, there’s a dual-time performance going on here: the original recorder performance (which was improvised), and the manipulation of the tape and effects (which can get extremely complicated- basically, it’s an electronic music performance- also improvised). I actually like the sound of the taped recorder- it doesn’t sound fully sound like the instrument, any more than a mellotron flute does. It’s a thing in and of itself.
