Duchamp might have said “Bob chews his cud”. “The Duchamp Prelude” is a kind of electronic alapana, in which Robert explores the chordal sequence of the source piece “If Duchamp Drew Beautifully” through an overdriven TM-2 bandpass filter.

For “The Duchamp Examination” Robert plays and sings the source piece into the Boomerang section by section, further using the Boomerang as an insert editor to advance the composition by displacing the recorded segments with live musical phrases and lyric samples, not so much triggered as expressed and modulated in real time using the combination of MIDI guitar, synthesizer control pedals, and the VSampler 3 software.
