The data and tension, tdat for short, is a family of vocal systems music compositions. All of them involve more than two streams of simultaneous text. They are a bit like games.
From Joe’s blog:
we recorded the evening of 25.5.09, after dinner and wine. Â we improvised mic stands from spring clamps and pop filters from spandex. Â we hung a condenser from the light fixture. Â it was good fun.
