“I began experimenting by moving the sounds of the bird between two speakers, listening to them through the two mini microphones inserted in my ears, as I walked slowly through the space between the two speakers. The amplified chirps moved left and right according to my movements, creating small time delays and phase-shifts in relation to the position of the motionless bird. Sometimes the microphones would resonate with the loudspeakers, thus generating a Larsen feedback, and I could control the timbre and volume with small head movements”
Alvin Lucier, liner note wydawnictwa “Bird and Person Dyning”, Cramps Records
Lucier's piece is not only a study of how sound exists in space, its relationship to the body and movement. It is also an example of embodied listening, of the way our body and perception influence what and how we listen. Lastly, the performer's spatialised 'listening' is an attempt to sonify the process of listening, to transpose the roles of a listener and a performer – after all, we listen to listening.
