So, this afternoon, CNN ran a story on the works of SCANNER.
I think he was in New York. Anyway he was performing for a small crowd
and describing what he does. Basically, sampling telephone
conversations via a scanner, then accompanying the manipulated sample
with atmospheric noises and melodies.
Scanner was pretty hip, and an interesting character.
They asked him about the law forbidding the broadcasting or distribution
of intercepted phone conversations. He countered that he was very
careful to manipulate any samples to render them harmless. (Pitch
shifting, distorting, etc.)
I've got to hear his stuff....sounds cool.
I know Nichole Blackman is a fan...whatever that means.
