A script for recursive processing in Reaper ala Lucier
A talk with a friend about some processing for a project lead me to think about how I could incorporate the process behind Alvin Lucier's "I am Sitting in a Room" piece in a Reaper workflow.
So I wrote a script, right now named ReaCursive, that allows me to run a recursive FX chain an arbitrary number of times, recycling the output of the last iteration, to see if this could lead to interesting and surprising processing.
The script is still being written and there are a lot of things I would like to experiment with before releasing it.
The video showcases a few of my findings up until now.
If you are not familiar with Lucier's piece - or his work in general - I can highly recommend going for a deep dive. His work has given me some of the most rewarding listening experiences.
Let me know if you’d like some pointers for his work.
