Performed by Nick Seaver

Here is a recording of me performing (“setting up?”) Steve Reich’s “Pendulum Music” in my summer sound class. There is a little pedagogical interlude in there as I answer some questions from the class, and I stop the piece before it is technically done, but hey, now it’s only 1:34 of microphone feedback instead of 5:00. (At the end, I say we’re going to do another version, with a different angle for the speakers, but it appears I managed to not record that one. Oh well.)
