Day
303 — Live Kaufmann
31-May-1972
(Mittwoch–Wed.)
TRANSCRIPT
Normal day with practicing.
At night. Electronic concert. Interesting with “live”
Kaufmann piece. Interesting model and concept with
good sound result. One voice “live” (motive) builds
up into an eventual large “final texture” and then
dies away. I like the concept—organic.
Afterwards, went out to eat and drink. A really good
time. Probably first time in Austria that I just
acted dumb and fooled around. Felt good.
REFLECTIONS
Live
Kaufmann. Tonight is
a live electronic piece by Prof. Dieter Kaufmann. It
relates back to a few days ago when I heard of bit of
their earlier work. Well, it was even more
interesting than I realized. The live voice sings a
motive that, I believe, is manipulated live with
musique concrète techniques (I am guessing loops,
filters, and manipulation). The texture builds and
builds to a final climax, then gradually dies off,
reversing itself. I do remember this a bit. Nice.

lets go? What is
this? And I admit it in writing? Was I trying to
flirt with Camilla? More likely, I had one drink too
many, or just decided to be a college kid. I’m
certain I was fine.
