*Another aspect that interests me--as far as me as performer, hearing my own voice--is "I am Sitting In A Room" by Alvin Lucier [http://ubumexico.centro.org.mx/sound/source/Lucier-Alvin_Sitting.mp3]. I am just listening to this again now, I had never noticed that he had a stutter. This adds an interesting psychological dimension to the performance, where he states "I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to smooth out an irregularities my speech might have." "...so that any semblance of my speech. With perhaps the exception of rhythm is destroyed. What you will hear then are the natural resonant frequencies of the room, articulated by speech. I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to smooth out any irregularities my speech might have."
