Realisation of David Tudor's Rainforest IV
Uploaded by: ashfordaisyak
Video Description:
This is footage courtesy of Toby Clarkson documenting a two-day re-realisation of David Tudor's electroacoustic classic 'Rainforest IV'. Sounds from allsorts of gizmology and crackleboxology are fed through audio transducers attached to metal objects, each with distinct resonant properties. This was all performed in a yurt - a sort of large tent thing, at last year's Pestival. Participants comprised of: T. Clarkson, J. Dunn, M. O'Brien, C. Weaver, D. Wilson.

| Interesting performance. I'm wondering which performance notes you used, as there is (AFAIK) no score, per se, to any of the Rainforest series. The only real complaint I have is that the videographer doesn't stay long enough on any one thing to really see what's being used and how (too many edits, I guess). Other than that, really great work! Wish there were more things like this on YouTube! |

| The videographers were in fact audience members who were given the camera - these included an arthritic elderly woman and a hyperactive infant, hence the attention deficit. Glad you liked it nonetheless! No performance notes were used, it was all improv. The only configural connection between this and Tudor's work is the usage of random objects as speakers via transducers. We used 'Rolen Star' transducers (same type Tudor used). |

| David Tudor was a very interesting composer and experimenter. The world of sound is much better because of him and John Cage. |
