Johnny Rivers – Secret Agent Man (1966)
(P.F. Sloan / S. Barri)

There’s a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won’t live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man, secret agent man
They’ve given you a number and taken away your name

Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Ah, be careful what you say
Or you’ll give yourself away
Odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man, secret agent man
They’ve given you a number and taken away your name

[Lead guitar]

Secret agent man, secret agent man
They’ve given you a number and taken away your name

Swingin’ on the Riviera one day
And then layin’ in the Bombay alley next day
Oh no, you let the wrong word slip
While kissing persuasive lips
The odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man, secret agent man
They’ve given you a number and taken away your name

Secret agent man

Wendy Carlos […] is an American composer and electronic musician. Carlos first came to notice in the late 1960s with recordings made on the Moog synthesizer, then a relatively new and unknown instrument; most notable were LPs of synthesized Bach and the soundtrack for Stanley Kubrick‘s film A Clockwork Orange. Several years prior, two Carlos compositions using classical (pre-Moog) electronic techniques had been issued on LP (Variations for Flute and Tape and Dialogues for Piano and Two Loudspeakers). Although the first Carlos Moog albums were interpretations of the works of classical composers, she later resumed releasing original compositions.

Birds watch in a bramble — http://robert-pettena.blogspot.com/2010/11/birds-watch-in-bramble.html
Installazione di Robert Pettena nel suo studio a Firenze.

Foto di Robert Pettena (2010).

L’installazione Birds watch in a bramble é stata sonorizzata dal vivo da THX riprendendo con un microfono i canti degli uccelli contenuti nella voliera al centro della sala, registrati e looppati in tempo reale con una Boss RC-20xl loopstation e filtrati con un processore di effetti KORG mini Kaoss Pad.
Inoltre é stata usata una drum machine Akai MPC2000 per campionare il cinguettio degli uccelli e creare in tempo reale delle sequenze di suoni filtrate dagli effetti e mixate con gli altri strumenti, un synth microKORG primo modello, un giradischi Technics sl-1210, un mixer Vestax PCM-05 pro D, vari dischi fonografici di effetti sonori (Uccelli del Venezuela, Dusk/Dawn di Henrik Håkansson, e Bird Listening di Letizia Renzini) e una catena di pedali effetto per chitarra (Boss digital delay, Boss super chorus, Vox Valvetone overdrive, Dunlop “Jimi Hendrix system” fuzz unit, Dunlop Crybaby wah-wah).
I suoni campionati nell’MPC e nella loopstation sono stati successivamente registrati su computer in formato wave e infine rippati in formato mpeg-3 da THX.

Mille grazie ad Alessandra Tempesti e a Robert Pettena.
