About Howard Johnson/Affirmative

Description: Recording of Joshua Fried's About Howard Johnson/Affirmative. This work uses MIDI in unusual ways.

When channel gates are triggered at an even rate, one obtains the well-known strobe effect of slowing down, stopping or even reversing the apparent motion of a rotating object. As trigger cycle and loop cycle move out of phase, bits of sound seem to wander from speaker … more
