about

‘Cognitive Disorder #6’ was another track that was guided by the context in which the recorded sources were created, but this time in a different way. Instead of layering together recordings I had made at separate times in very particular but completely separate locations, I decided to survey one specific time and location in sequential layers. Again, not really important to the outcome in regards to anyone else listening to it, just interesting for me. To lend a bit more specificity to the location, the windows of the apartment I was sharing with long-suffering Mister Faulhaber (hi Richard) were opened once more to allow the ambience of passing traffic on West San Carlos Street, San Jose, California in mid-1993 to drift through and meander around the room during the session. Using his metronome and 4-track I recorded nine successive eight-minute sections of that tiny strand of the space-time continuum, with the metronome ‘subdividing’ each one at various tempos; four recordings were bounced to one track of a new cassette, three more were bounced to another track, and then two more were added to the remaining tracks on the destination cassette. This final group was then mixed together with some of them being put through effects. It was interesting to discover the almost conversation-like patterns created as the mostly random tempos of the metronome interacted with one another.
