Hal McGee at Action Research 46 (9:46)

Hal McGee, no-input mixer feedback loop, Moog MF-107 FreqBox and Behringer UB802 mixer, at Action Research show #46, at The Laboratory, Gainesville, Florida, USA, Saturday, December 12, 2009. This is a microcassette recording I made of the performance on a Panasonic RR-930 desktop transcriber. I wanted to incorporate the sound of the space into the performance. I set up my gear and performed on the table near the front of The Laboratory, where I had been collecting admission money from the attendees. My performance was unannounced, and most of the audience members did not even know I had started performing until the first loud sound I made, and then the ambient sound in the room changed noticeably. YouTube video below filmed by Christopher Miller.
