INSTRUCTIONS FOR OBSERVING THE
HIFI/STEREO REVIEW DEMONSTRATION
STEREO TEST PROGRAM NO. 3: TRANSMUTATION ASSESSMENT

A WORD ABOUT THIS MANUAL;

Liner notes.
This web program can be viewed without attending the live assessment program, but contains information that directly refers to the ensemble performance of the tests. The Amplifier Avatar is represented in both cases. While the musical program can only be heard in the live assessment, these program notes confirm the intention of the tests, which is to superimpose the tests for fidelty onto bodies, both physical and virtual. This web program was written in html5/css and can be viewed on a desktop computer or device.


INTRO: PREPARATION;

AVATAR: CIRCLE THE WORLD, SEAL THE SPACE.

Channel Identification, Channel Balance.
An Amplifier Avatar walks to the corners framing the physical space in order to seal it for the assessment. This procedure follows the logic that experimentation is best conducted in a closed system.

TEST 1: INFORMATION CONVERSION TEST;

AVATAR: AMPLIFIER EATS THE WORLD IT IS FED.

Information Conversion.
The tongue proves its ineptitude in transmitting language and as a result, is replaced with a mechanical version which utilizes the scaffolding of the human mouth to translate words to mere vibrations. The Amplifier demonstrates the route through which these messages are fed back through the body electric, the weight of which will create the momentum needed for the next test.

TEST 2: APPENDAGE ARTICULATION AND FORMATTING TEST;

AVATAR: EXTEND THE ARMS THROUGH COMPLICATED MEANS.

Appendage Articulation and Formatting.
The process moves to the appendages, which work individually and yet in concert with one another, producing a spectrum of sound from which new messages can form via subtractive processes. In the meantime, the Amplifier tests the conditions for the possibilities of creating new messages via additive processes. This excises any sludge from the limbs and encourages it to move further down the electric body.
