Meditation in Three

Jon Johnson's Shaking from Within is a tripartite exploration of speech. Johnson calls for three samples to be played on a portable cassette recorder through a set of headphones. A megaphone pressed against the headphones amplifies the signal for the audience, while guaranteeing that the sound will be so distorted from its original source that only elements like tone and inflection remain.

This recording was made during an in-studio performance on Ray Terlaga's show at WPKN in Bridgeport, CT by Loop 2.4.3.
