York Globe Cell
is a brief electroacoustic work, written by request of the 2009
International Electroacoustic Music Festival of Brooklyn College, CUNY, where I now teach. In homage to the festival, the title of the piece is an anagram
of "Brooklyn College."
Nearly all sounds in the piece were created from two samples: The falling major third "bing-bong" of a NYC subway door
and an automated male voice from an NYC subway saying, "Stand clear of the closing doors, please." These samples
were manipulated only using techniques possible in an analogue electronic music studio: Reversal, speed change,
looping, enveloping, crossfades, and filtering.
