The train is across the river and beyond the trees. I never saw it. This is recorded from a pier, jutting into the river past the marsh in Rocco Park, on the river by New Smyrna Beach.

Analogies of Control is an acousmatic work with a performance facet built in. After the full studio version was mixed, an additional mix was created. A three track work in which all of the non-cello sources (quick freeze metals) are separated and delivered to a performer via headphones.

In concert the audience hears a tape part of entirely cello and cello derived sounds, and the cellist playing an imitation of the 3rd track. Only the cellist hears the irradiated metals.

Consider the cellist a very non-black box. A very coloured speaker, or maybe a bio-analogical signal processor, if you will.

This performance, by Craig Hultgren, is particularly significant as many of the cello samples are culled from a recording he made of Parables, the first stage in this adventure in form.

I sampled Craig Hultgren doing some requested gestures and colegno lines on my ancient Quadra 660AV. I cut the samples up to the point where I was building new gestures from scratch. The noisier parts were the quick frozen metals I use from time-to-time recorded at Shea Goodwin's house (thanks Shea and Scott!).
