Recorded on Miniature Concretes

Commissioned by empreintes DIGITALes

This short piece uses only three unidentified sounds, provided by the CD label, to make a rather grungy, irreverent and perhaps slightly folk-like dance. Other than some slight processing, the sounds were left to speak for themselves. I made Squeaky Reel with a NeXT computer and Cmix software, and anything else that came to hand. I had resigned my job on the same day I started this piece… perhaps it shows.
