Beatles Alchemy With Arp 2600

Maybe I know

A movement from Mahler's 4th, played on two turntables one starting a few seconds after the other, as a rudimentary delay. Recorded in 1977 as a duet for two symphonies. Hats off to Alvin Lucier for inspiration about tape loops.

This "remix" was done using a turntable recording into a cassette deck, pausing the cassette then putting the needle back and recording more: my favorite part is around 3:09. This was befor e anyone was scratching, and long before computers were available to do this kind of thing visually.

In 1976 or so, I processed this Beatles track through an Arp 2600, using lots of ring modulation that I controlled from the keyboard. This gave me the chance to "play" the Beatles - in particular Ringo's drum solo.
