#NowPlaying #SteveRoden “Winter Couplet” was created for the 2002 L.A. Freewaves festival. It was made using the sounds of 2 tea cups and played through 8 speakers connected to cardboard tubes. The tubes acted as resonators, inspired by the work of architect #ShigeruBan. This version is a stereo mix of the original work. https://room40.bandcamp.com/album/winter-couplet
