Interesting info on Mego website:"Over the course of a year, Keith Fullerton Whitman performed a piece of live electronic music a fewdozen times entitled "Generator." The debut was given in San Francisco at Root Strata's "On Land"festival at Cafe Du Nord on September 19th, 2009 … over the months that followed stagings took placein venues ranging from flooded basements to festival stages in Baltimore, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago,Easthampton, Iowa City, Jamaica Plain, Northampton, Raleigh, Saint Louis, San Francisco, Somerville,& Washington D.C.This LP covers the final two performances of the piece over two consecutive evenings ; the openingsolo set from the final night of "High Zero" festival in Baltimore at the Theater Project, September 26th,2010, then the performance during the "For Eliane" night of the "Propensity of Sound" festivaldedicated to Eliane Radigue's work at Issue Project Room, Brooklyn, September 27th, 2010. Theserecordings show the piece in two different iterations, taking two different trajectories entirely. They'reconsidered as the definitive versions of the piece.Composed for, and realized with a scalable selection of digital & analogue modular synthesisequipment, "Generator" was at attempt to wrest a viable performance-based music out what had untilthen been a solitary set of sound-design tools. The piece grew out of a frustration with the limitlessnessof computer-based real-time synthesis & algorithmic / generative systems vs. their utter failure asperformance solutions. It hinges heavily on the ideology of the "Playthroughs" system (in that the subtletuning inconsistencies of a physical instrument - the electric guitar - could be amplified & multiplied)through the use of multiple layerings of different topologies of oscillator, yielding an unstable array ofmodal canons that drift in & out of "tune," causing all manner of inter-voice beating & assortedpsycho-acoustic effects."
