I used Lempner’s recording, the beginning of Stuligross’s percussive recording and Cloyd’s spoken word recording. I used elastic audio and time stretching techniques to process Stuligross’s material to create large textures and I used simple layering and repitching techniques to process Lempner’s material to create droning harmonies. The arrangement is laced with heavy tones and ethereal and broken guitar loops, as per the usual case. The piece begins with a woodwind pedal point, courtesy of Lempner, along with a granular take on Stuligross’s offerings. The aggressive percussive strikes also come from Stuligross. The wash of white noise throughout the piece was achieved by excessively time-stretching Lempner’s open instrumental attack. Cloyd’s spoken word closes out the piece.

Richard Graham, Ph.D., is a musician, technologist, educator, and entrepreneur. His academic and practical pursuits encompass computer-assisted music composition and instrumental performance.

Graham pioneered a live performance system for multichannel guitar at STEIM while completing his Ph.D. at Ulster University. He later served as an Assistant Professor of Music and Technology at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. His scholarly articles on performance systems design and electroacoustic theory have appeared in prestigious journals and conference proceedings including NIME, EMS, ISSTA, and publications by MIT Press.

His musical portfolio includes the album “Nascent,” with compositions featured at national and international festivals like NYCEMF, ICMC, and SEAMUS. In 2017, as an artist-in-residence at EMS, he produced “Disrupt/Construct” in collaboration with Hellmut Neidhardt, released by Denovali Records. His recent self-published album “Land Of Youth” contains tracks penned during the pandemic.

Graham’s academic research has been showcased at Bauhaus-Universität, Nokia Bell Labs, and MIT, covering topics including spatial audio in augmented reality, and live performance systems design, to sonification. He has presented at conferences like TIES, AES AVAR, and KEAMSAC, and lectured at institutions including SARC at Queen’s University and MMT at Trinity College.

In 2017, he co-founded Delta Sound Labs, an audio technology venture that has developed and marketed innovative products globally. The company has appeared at major industry events such as Musikmesse, Superbooth, Ableton’s Loop Festival, Moogfest, CES, and NAMM.

Currently based in Washington, D.C., Graham works under the alias, “Signals Under Tests,” and collaborates with Edwin Park on developing music production software.
