		The score begins: "choose a room the musical qualities of which you would like to evoke." A text is then read and recorded in that room; the recording is played back through a loudspeaker, and the playback itself recorded; and the cycle of playback and recording is continued through a variable number of generations.
		Echoes elongate and smear the speech, and the resonances of the room enhance some of the frequencies present, while others are eliminated.
		Gradually, the speech is transformed into music: the text becomes a complex weave of pitches, based upon the intersections of the recorded voice and the resonant frequencies of the room.

		These conceptualisations of musical surfaces are articulated in Alvin Lucier's seminal I am sitting in a room (1970), which in its original incarnation subjects a human voice to an analogue tape manipulation of the acoustic feedback loop.
		The outcome is therefore dependant upon the operator's manipulation of the technical control surfaces, the acoustical properties of the room, and any other sonic events that may infiltrate the feedback loop.
		A digital rendition of Lucier's I am sitting in a room will be performed by Michael Yuen at 10am on Sunday 26 October 2003, in the performance space of the Elder School of Music's Electronic Music Unit, at the University of Adelaide (5th floor, Schultz Building).

	I am sHitting in a room. Sound installation at the toilets of the Konzerthaus, Vienna.
		The title of this installation relates to Alvin Lucier's classic work 'I am sitting in a room', a composition in which spatial resonances of a room are examined by the continuous recording and playing back of a spoken text into the same acoustic space.
		Microphones and loudspeakers are installed in both bathrooms, the sounds of the Ladies' room projected into the Gents' room and vice versa.
		At the same time, this quite intimate (and possibly intimitating?) sound space is openly exhibited and the traditional separation of female and male sounds of the "most natural activity in the world" is abandoned.

		The process of repetition and feedback is implemented not in software but "in the room"; the microphones record whatever the loudspeakers project.
		At the first performance (10/12/2000), the new realization offered a communal listening experience; generated a palpable activation of the room and the environment; and produced "surprises" in the form of inevitable unintended noises, which knitted themselves into the fabric of the music.

		So I am sitting in this room, and I am looking across to the far wall, and I am thinking of a piece of early electroacoustic music made by Alvin Lucier in 1970.
		Lucier's piece is called I Am Sitting in a Room, and I'm thinking of it because as I am sitting in this room I am also looking at a computer-assisted perspective drawing of the room I am sitting in, which Toronto artist Nestor KrÃ¼ger has painted on the room's north wall.
		After the cool conceptualism of Untitled (room), this fecundity is both a shock and a relief: messy, yes, but also very human.

	Bagatellen: Alvin Lucier - Navigations for Strings/Small Waves
		Though much of Lucier’s reputation in the general public rests on his masterpiece, ‘I Am Sitting In A Room’, the great majority of his work since then (1970) has been concerned with closely aligned pitches producing audible wave fluctuations.
		Microphones are hung in these vessels, their signals routed through image-compressors and the resultant feedback broadcast back into the room where the performers attempt to replicate the electronic sound as closely as possible.
		Next to “I Am Sitting In A Room”, a work in a world of its own anyway, ‘Small Waves’ might be Lucier’s most beautifully realized composition.
