NOTES

I AM SITTING IN A ROOM IS ALVIN

LUCIER'S IDEA OF PURE SOUND

EXPERIMENTS. THROUGH PLAYBACK

AND RECORDING OF SUCCESSIVE

GENERATIONS OF HIS OWN VOICE THE

SOUND IS WASHED UNTIL HIS TALKING

IS A PURE HARMONIC. THE ALBUM

STARTS WITH A RELATIVELY BLAND

LUCIER.."I AM SITTING IN A ROOM" BUT

AS THE GENERATIONS PROGRESS

EVERYTHING BECOMES A PURE

AMBIENT. AS LUCIER SUGGESTS IN THE

RECORDING, THIS SOUND IS THE

DYNAMIC OF THE ROOM HE RECORDS

IN. IT IS RELEASED IN TWO PARTS ON

WELL PRESSED VINYL.

THIS RECORD WAS MADE BY THE

COMPOSER ON OCTOBER 29 AND 31,

1980 IN THE LIVING ROOM OF HIS HOME

IN MIDDLETOWN, CONNECTICUT. IT

CONSISTS OF THIRTY-TWO

GENERATIONS OF THE COMPOSER'S

SPEECH AND WAS MADE EXPRESSLY

FOR THIS LOVELY MUSIC RECORD

 

VERY GOOD CONDITION
