Pretentious?
There's nothing pretentious in what Lucier did. It was an intimate personal struggle that oozes strong understated feelings, and at the same time a major experimental breakthrough.
Pretentious is someone pretending to judge a masterpiece without any kind of knowledge or empathy, and contemporarily trying to define the confines of music like a fearful and mindless conservative would do.
Just the opposite of what Alvin Lucier did. He opened himself to the world and won.

just reading words and music by Paul Morley which talks about this track. Thanks for posting.

@pianoshootist yeah, your right, he did stutter... it wasn't intentional as he has a stutter and the distortion of it being re-recorded is a way of cutting it out of his speech, a guess it was a sort of therapy for him... kind of sentimental really...

why does the sound stutter sometimes? is that how he talked or is it explained by this ressonance cascade thing?
