i wouldn't call it a bite... they sound like two completely different
things. One being live, spontaneous, the subjects didn't know they were
being recorded, then the atmosphere of surprise that must have been
created during the recycling of the conversations must have been truly
great! The recorded conversations don't seem like they would be able to
attain that dynamic... Correct me if i am wrong because i have not heard
either of the happenings in question... dig both their stuff though...

Anyone else know of other spontanious live accident based performances?
I know that Psychic TV used to do something along this line with sound
being sent from multiple sources in different locations far away from
the performance space, which were merged randomly. I forget specifics
though...

peace,
argo
