Improvisation for Two Altered Telephones

The telephones for this piece were altered by adding an AM/FM radio circuit to the phone interface. The radio circuit produces sound when its speaker output is fed back into the circuit at various points and in varying degrees.

The resulting sound is controlled through the phone keypad and a few added knobs (variable resisters).
