When I was thirteen (way back in 1969) I experimented with a spring coil stretched over an old lute that used to belong to my mother. I had placed a microphone in its resonance body, and connected it to an adjustable pre-amplifier and a serial array of old AM tube radios. The result sounded ominous, and the neighbourhood reacted accordingly, in shock and horror. Then I discovered stereophonics, tape recorders (two Telefunkens), variable tape speed, looping and overdubbing (using a copper coin between the erasing head and the tape). I recorded many of my experiments, until this interest got lost, along with the tapes, in the confusion of my adolescence.
Thirty-three years later I am at the SAE (School for Audio Engineering) in Hamburg and find that recording techniques have evolved, and that sound design is now left to software algorithms that get sold 'along with the currants and raisins at the local greengrocer'. Progress? Degeneration? But no! We haven't yet REALLY learned how to use computers. In spite of Steve Jobs' unwavering efforts, computers are still slow, unreliable and user-unfriendly. But we seem to be moving in the right direction. There lies a great future ahead for the aspiring sound engineer.
Between Wazaneba is an unfinished project inspired by the music of Soft Machine. The title is derived from a childhood mishearing of the lyrics of Robert Wyatt's Moon In June. I started the project quite a while ago, dropped it and picked it up again. Now I decided to put it out here 'as is' and keep my enthusiastic audience posted with updates until it is finished.
