Homemade electronic controllers direct many of the effects. Featured at the 1997 ARS Electronica Festival (Linz). LILITH Field Notes 1999: World Domination Recordings, WDM 10098-2 (CD) A collection of live recordings including the Granular Synthesis Showcase (Chicago-'98), ARS Electronica Festival in (in a tunnel under the city of Linz, Austria-'98), Austria and the ESP Convention (Normal, USA-'97). Lilith exploit natural acoustic phenomena, granular synthesis, and use their own homemade synthesizers which respond to light intensity/movement rather than a traditional keyboard. LILITH Redwing 1995: Sub Rosa, SR 96 (CD) A piece which exclusively utilizes the human voice in orgasmic state. The original recordings have been heavily processed, but without introducing any outside or synthesized sources. It was recorded alongside ORGAZIO but does not use that album's compositional blueprint. LILITH Orgazio 1994: Sub Rosa, SR 76 (CD) ORGAZIO is constructed around a piece of text by English writer and black mage Aleister Crowley. Two movements take a passage from Crowley's "Book of the Law" and apply it's formula to map pitch, duration, intensity, velocity, envelope; and to determine loop length, sample rate, and so on. Samples of Crowley's voice were used, as were radio signals from two pulsars, and various other related sound sources. Much of the frequencies and amplitude of this piece appear on the limits of audibility. LILITH Stone 1992: Sub Rosa, SR 55 (CD) STONE is a 74-minute work that was orchestrated using only stones, rocks, pebbles, etc. These were sampled and only minimally processed. The entire program was composed and recorded in 24 consecutive hours, at the Disciples Divinity House of the University of Chicago.
