The piece features Lucier recording himself narrating a text, and then playing the tape recording back into the room, re-recording it. The new recording is then played back and re-recorded, and this process is repeated. Since all rooms have characteristic resonance or formant frequencies (e.g. different between a large hall and a small room), the effect is that certain frequencies are emphasized as they resonate in the room, until eventually the words become unintelligible, replaced by the pure resonant harmonies and tones of the room itself.[1] In his book on the origins of minimalism, Edward Strickland wrote that "In its repetition and limited means, I am sitting in a room ranks with the finest achievements of Minimal tape music. Furthermore, in its ambient conversion of speech modules into drone frequencies, it unites the two principal structural components of Minimal music in general."[1] History and performancesLucier was originally inspired to create I am sitting in a room after a colleague mentioned attending a lecture at MIT in which Amar Bose described how he tested characteristics of the loudspeakers he was developing by feeding back audio into them that they had produced in the first place and then was picked up via microphones.[2][3] The first recording of I am sitting in a room was made at the Electronic Music Studio at Brandeis University in 1969.[4][5][6] The first performance of the work was in 1970 at the Guggenheim Museum in New York.[6] A second, higher fidelity recording of I am sitting in a room lasting over 40 minutes was released in 1981.[7][8] More recent performances include one at MIT's "Seeing/Sounding/Sensing" symposium in September 2014.[2][9][10] Lucier said that a performance need not use his text, and that the performance may be recorded in any room.{{fact|date=October 2014}} Full textThe text spoken by Lucier describes the process of the work, concluding with a reference to his own stuttering: {{quote|I am sitting in a room different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice and I am going to play it back into the room again and again until the resonant frequencies of the room reinforce themselves so that any semblance of my speech, with perhaps the exception of rhythm, is destroyed. What you will hear, then, are the natural resonant frequencies of the room articulated by speech. I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to smooth out any irregularities my speech might have.[11]}}In popular cultureIn 2013, filmmakers Viola Rusche and Hauke Harder decided to use "I am sitting in a room" as the "main structuring element" of the documentary "No Ideas but In Things" (2013). According to the filmmakers' notes, "the various process steps of the piece ["I am sitting in a room"] divide the film into chapters so that this work serves as an integral part of the film."[12] In 2010, a YouTube user created an homage to I am sitting in a room entitled VIDEO ROOM 1000, in which he uploaded a video of himself speaking text similar to Lucier's original to YouTube, then manually downloaded and re-uploaded it 1,000 times in sequence over the course of a year, in order to demonstrate the resulting digital artifacting of audio and video analogously to Lucier's original demonstration of analog artifacting of audio.[13][14] In 2018, the YouTube user Tim Blais created a live streaming version of this experiment titled I Am Streaming In A Room. He livestreamed himself speaking, and then had software capture the original livestream and rebroadcast it to the stream. The segment repeated for approximately 1,170 iterations.[15] See also
