Going through my Ken Jacobs file I found this 2012 conversation. It was organized by Violet Lucca who was also responsible for the pedagogical projection alluded to in our talk. (The picture below is so far as I know the only record of the event.)

more Pause Lever, this time using it to build a sequence. This is a great way to construct loops, and can achieve the effect of different sections of tape being spliced together. Using the same sound here, but it could be anything. The workmen making a racket outside my window, for instance. #tape
