A quick experiment in phasing, and the materiality of digital audio, using two portable chant boxes (also called Buddhist jukeboxes). Each box contains the same set of loops and should work identically. However, because of discrepancies in construction, battery power, etc., each plays at a slightly different rate (and pitch). When loops are initiated together, these differences accumulate and the loops decouple from one another, producing a phasing effect à la Steve Reich. Gonna make another higher quality video w/ stereo audio one of these days. (Incorrect date in the video: Jan 5, 2016)
