Alvin Lucier - Music On A Long Thin Wire (New CD) Instrumental of half-remembered dreams and people1992 release. First released on Lovely Music in 1980. A 50 foot length of taut wire passes through the poles of a large magnet and is driven by an oscillator; the vibrations of the wire are miked at either end, amplified, and broadcast in stereo. The thin wire is set vibrating four times at four different frequencies; what results is not the low drone one might expect from a long, vibrating wire, but a complexity of evocative, ethereal chords.
