| Content description | The tape consists of three parts: 1) Attinasi records his "letter" in half-track mono on a half-track Uher 4000 tape recorder he got from Columbia University. 2) Attinasi continues his letter (in stereo) on the same quarter-track Uher tape recorder that he took into the field so as to demonstrate the difference in quality between the two machines. 3) This is an excerpt of a (unidentified) field recording Attinasi made of a native Chol speaker. (It is not clear whether the passage is in two-track mono or in stereo.) |
