I Am Sitting in a Small Metal Room

from 20th Century Music by Jason Lescalleet

/

about

I AM SITTING IN A SMALL METAL ROOM is a performace recorded at an undocumented location in 1998. Inspired by the flowchart illustration in Joe Colley's Chime Vortex cassette, I utilized three mono 1/4" reel-to-reels, two Peavey KB300 amps, and one Gorilla GG-20. I laid the Gorilla on its back and attached a contact mic to various objects that I rested on the speaker of
the amp. The contact mic was fed to a recording deck with a long tapeloop threaded from that deck through the other two decks. The monitor line from the recording deck fed the Gorilla amp while the outputs from the other two decks fed the two KB300's. This exercise evolved from this performance to a piece that I called "The Seven Bowls". I performed "The Seven Bowls" a few
times at various concerts around New England in the late 90's and early 00's but I haven't been able to find any recordings. (Perhaps I might find something if I ever spend the time to listen through my collection of old unlabelled mini-discs.)
