INTRO: Feedback: a precise word, a simple concept —
like looking in a mirror. But when applied to electronic music,
it has a complex history. It was controlled feedback that elevated
the electric guitar to the realm of the gods in the 1960s and fueled
the rock revolution immortalized by JIMI HENDRIX and satirized in
SPINAL TAP. [OK, things got a little out of hand...]
In the electronic music era, feedback expanded to
arrays of
mirrors to enrich tone, sustain notes, create rhythms, and imply
space through echoes. Today we harness tens of thousands of echoes
to create spatial illusions with digital reverb. It's all done...
with sophisticated feedback.
On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we follow the feedback
with another journey in electronic space called HALL OF MIRRORS.
