The album is a parody of stereo test and demonstration records, which were used by hi-fi enthusiasts to test the performance of their audio systems. The tracks are titled as if they are normal audio test tracks, but in reality each one is a piece of sketch comedy. The album does, however, also function as a real stereo test recording.
Several tracks (notably the opening song "Tidal Wave") have as many as ten guitars playing at any one time (usually eight rhythm guitars and two guitars used for solos). The Japanese version of Fun Trick Noisemaker contains the extra tracks "Shine (In Your Mind)" and "Thank You Very Much". These tracks can be found in mp3 format on the Elephant ...
All of the items recorded on the tape are comedy sketches; the majority of them are also functional car stereo tests. One sketch is an old-fashioned country music song of love lost, where the lyrics use tones that vary from 30 cycles per second (now known as the hertz) up to 15,000 cycles per second. Another sketch explains to the consumer how ...
Instrumental use of microphones has been developed by many experimental composers, musicians and sound artists. They use microphones in unconventional ways, for example by preparing them with objects, moving them around or using contact microphones to colour the sound and be able to amplify otherwise very silent sounds.
ORTF setup. The ORTF stereo technique, also known as side-other-side, is a microphone technique used to record stereo sound.It was devised around 1960 at the now-defunct Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française (ORTF).
Audio feedback from microphones occurs when a microphone is too near a monitor or main speaker and the sound reinforcement system amplifies itself. Audio feedback through a microphone is almost universally regarded as a negative phenomenon, many electric guitarists use guitar feedback as part of their performance. This type of feedback is ...
Multi Stereo Surround (MSS) [22] – This approach treats the speakers in a surround sound system as a multitude of stereo pairs. For example, a stereo recording of a piano, created using two microphones in an ORTF configuration , might have its left channel sent to the left-rear speaker and its right channel sent to the center speaker.
