wt_metals
Adrian Moore
Programme notes
Two metal sheets were played (rubbed, scraped and flexed) and then manipulated. Perhaps the most obvious points where manipulation is audible is towards the last third of the piece where something “regular” appears. It almost sounds as though someone is playing the sheet with sticks like a cymbal. Scraping the metal sheet gave rise to some nice resonances, often inharmonic. It was often best leaving these untreated save for editing, equalization and mixing.
