about

Large Glass Bead Game

Rich O'Meara - pot covers, cowbell, temple block, mixing bowls, roto bell, singing bowl, kalimba, asian hand cymbals, effects pedals, ipod

Gary Rouzer - cello, cardboard, egg slicer, paint brush, saw blade, milk frother, effects pedals, cassette tapes

Part One - This is a collage constructed by Gary from our rehearsal in Rich's basement the morning of the gig and some fields recordings made that weekend at the Silent Barn, Washington Square Park, and the NYC subway.

Part Two - This is our live set at the Silent Barn in Brooklyn NY on Friday 26 September 2014 as part of the Experi-MENTAL Festival 6 presented by Pas Musique and Alrealon Musique.

"Prepared Lines" - Both of the above tracks utilize a backing track constructed by Rich from prepared piano samples, industrial sounds, synths, and an altered furby.

“Cheap Imitation” by John Cage (originally written for solo violin) was repeatedly quoted by the cello on both tracks.
