SlowBurn (for four electric guitars)
Ryan Gregory Tallman
Ryan Gregory Tallman: Mixer, Equalizers, Filters
The crux of SlowBurn is sound of the feedback of four microtonally tuned electric guitars. Each guitar has its own dedicated amplifier chosen for its particular resonant frequencies within the context of the space. The frequencies and harmonics are controlled by volume on the mixing board and the manipulation of parametric equalizers and high and low pass filters. The piece is not only an exploration of how specific guitar and amplifier combinations work within a given acoustic space, but also how the visceral effect of high sound pressure levels—coupled with duration—can affect perception.
WARNING: "SlowBurn" relies heavily on high sound pressure levels. Earplugs are provided—please wear them. Those who are susceptible to heart conditions, weak intestines, emotional or psychological disorders, please proceed with caution or leave the Hall before the piece begins.
