Notes: Premiered at this performance new prepared guitar/tape set-up. Electrical wires/alligator clips are attached to the guitar strings and to a metal guitar pick (the red wires visible in the photo). When the metal pick comes into contact with the strings, the sound from a prerecorded tape is allowed to pass through the wires and the guitar strings and go to the mixer/amplification system. In this way, the on/off flow of the tape signal is completely controlled by the guitarist's actions. The guitar itself is amplified via piezo taped to the body (green cable in the photo).
