In this piece I continue what was begun in Part 1 (track 3 on Volume 1), still using a reverb/delay machine and volume pedal to explore interactions between the analude's live and delayed glissando tones.
At several places, and continuously from about 5:00 onwards, the currently being played sweep of notes fall in sync with a different but musically related sweep of the delayed notes, which adds a regular low rhythm as well as intensity and complexity. Eventually, in the finale, another layer is added when both the current and the delayed sweeps include sliding difference tones, resulting in what might be called a waterfall of chords.
Instruments: Mono electric analude; Korg SE-300 reverb/delay; harmonic distortion.
Recorded: 1981 in Ottawa.

An exceptional album, with cuts ranging from very good to superb. JP's lyrics and delivery are unique and interesting, and the other musicians all excellent. A mature album by a true live performer. Steven Rowat
You wonder why your relationships fail? You hate your father? Perhaps you would let someone with searingly tragic honesty reveal to you some of the ways those two things can be related? If so.... Steven Rowat
Global changes are displacing bodies and minds (think: Orlov's "Reinventing Collapse".) T.D. expresses both levels well, and he does so through music that is honest, enjoyable, and memorable. Steven Rowat
