06:24 Preparing sounds for live performance

Currently copying recordings from the past 18 hours onto cassettes and reel-to-reel tape for use in a performance at 11:30.

Unfortunately my laptop is not currently connecting to the internet, so a recent scan of a poster advertising the performance and a photo of my workspace cannot be uploaded; these will be added later when I can reconnect.

Inputs for the live performance will be two cassette players and two reel-to-reel machines.

04:10 Final performance proposal

Idea to make an improvised live performance as a culmination of the Mill 24 event: use sounds recorded throughout the night to make an improv piece; record sounds to various media on loops, play back with live effects, etc.
