To
be noted
This recording
was originally recorded by Roy Hart on his 'Revox' magnetic tape recorder,
still to be seen in 'La Memoire'. It was
his answer to Alfred Wolfsohn's recording "The
Human Voice". It was a good answer since it shows the movements
in the work that had already taken place since he had taken on Alfred's
vocal research in 1962. This audio CD is therefore a very good example
of where Roy had got to by 1964. Although there was much growth between
then and 1975 when he died, that growth was
not in any way cut off from the roots left behind by Alfred Wolfsohn.

These
multiphonic sounds have not been artificially created by modern editing
tools or multi track recording, at the time of the original recording
these devises did not exist. So the sounds really where created by Roy
Hart's voice without any external assistance.
