The speaker that you see on the picture is a very primitive version of a leslie effect. He placed the microphones at a 90 degree intervals, played the sound through the speaker into the microphones which recorded it. The tube is in place to minimize the speaker spread of the sound. Truly amazing what this genius could do with such primitive techniques!
whree on earth did he ge tthe idea fo rhis works from ? im familair with his traumatised war experiences but Kontakte (+ perhaps like much of Ligeti's work is just so otherworldly - truly original + so far ahead of anybody else. staggering really..
