Charles Rice Goff III & Michael LaGrega
“Flexibly Insulated”
The Process:
1) Isolated in their individual recording studios, each artist separately recorded several hours of improvised material.
2) From late January through early February, 2021, Goff performed a number of machinations to these recordings: splitting them apart, mixing pieces together, altering pitches, rhythms, timbres, tambors, etc. In some cases, MIDI and other computer programs were used to change the original recorded bits so dramatically that their antecedents became completely unrecognizable.
