The recording was made with a Zoom H4N, as all the FRO recordings, and the general approach in line with an internal thesis ethic to do with truth and political autonomy of individuals was to leave all sounds 'as is'. This inclusively allowed for foot stamping and whatever noises were created, even squeaks from electronic equipment. Occasionally sound volume was moderated by a volume envelope where after initial distortion was aimed at in ZH the Life and Space Machine thereafter a pushing of limits close to boundaries as Zaha Hadid did was aimed at, yet avoiding clippping where feasible.

This carried on into the next interpretation in version 3 where there was an apparent widening to an all-out free interpretation. The FRO are great and so game for such varying interpretations. I (tenor recorder player) mentioned to my saxophonist neighbour in my section that there is also the shape aspect like phenomenal shapes that carpenters might cut out. The spaces in between would be so interesting and tie up with the piece called The Space Between Silences. As an interesting footnote the art critic Andrew Graham-Dixon placed the image on his Instagram page. Sound-wise an Atmos type aura was experimented with via Reaper's ReaSurroundPan as aural space allied to architectural space, a modern technological approach as compared with the cutting edge radical theatrical approach of early pioneers like Stockhausen, Nono, Berio, Scelsi and others of today&quot;", "image":"https://static1.s123-cdn-static-a.com/ready_uploads/media/179461/100_5ceb92134c918.jpg"},{"title":"&quot;With the FRO&quot;&nbsp;-&nbsp;Stained Glass Window verion 3</a>", "file":"https://static.s123-cdn-static-d.com/uploads/7889914/normal_6465cd6da1a8e.mp3", "howl":null, "pageUrl":"/stained-glass-window/stained-glass-window-verion-3", "cartUrl":"", "more_info":"&quot;The score after further discussion was taken in a completely free approach read in any way even upside down&quot;", "image":"https://static1.s123-cdn-static-a.com/ready_uploads/media/8756288/100_60d1efbbae274.jpg"}]}
