Christopher is a composer/artist from Montreal Canada who released one critically acclaimed album entitled wer Next Projekt in 2001. The genre defying album included a mix of exotic, new age, metal, and electronica. There was also a symbiotic relationship established between rigid sampling/looping and live performance. The most noticeable characteristic on the album was Christopher's ability to vocally switch genders within a song. Often times reviewers thought Christopher was not giving credit to female vocalists on the album when it was in fact him. The sound developed in 2001 is only recently being explored by other artists in soundtracks and video games. ...more on Wikipedia about "Christopher (artist)"
I am sitting in a room (1969) is one of composer Alvin Lucier's best known works, featuring Lucier recording himself narrating a text, and then playing the recording back into the room, re-recording it. The new recording is then played back and re-recorded, and this process is repeated. Since all rooms have characteristic resonance or formant frequencies (eg. different between a large hall and a small room), the effect is that certain frequencies are emphasised as they resonate in the room, until eventually the words become unintelligible, replaced by the pure resonant harmonies and tones of the room itself. The recited text describes this process in action - it begins "I am sitting in a room, different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice," and the rationale, concluding, "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," referring to his own stuttering. ...more on Wikipedia about "I am Sitting in a Room"
