Wayne's Notes from the Boom-Box Experiments Handouts

This composition has four sections. The first is the sound of 2 and 3 trumpets echoing each other, brought in one at a time, building from boom-box 1 through 40, culminating in a grandstand of over one hundred trumpeters blaring. The second is a backbeat randomly inserted just before the down-beat using up to 40 drummers. The third is a gliding pitch changed melody pattern of the first trumpet section only this time each tape consists of 12 trumpets culminating in the sound of 480 speed manipulated pre-recorded trumpets. The fourth is a Cmaj7th chord and a Fmaj7th chord trading off from one side to the other, changing the contour and mood of the final fanfare.
