If I Told Him - a discompleted portrait || 3'45" mp3 4.2MB

If I told him - a discompleted portrait is a piece using the cat map process on the well known recording of Gertrude Stein reciting her poem If I told Him - a completed portrait of Picasso. More information on Stein's poem and the original recording from which my piece was created are available at UbuWeb.

I feel the repeated syllables and alliteration in the poem are well married to the process. Their combination evokes a sense of cubism by revealing the nature of the digital storage medium and the basest level of digital audio, the sample.
