Radio Event No. 13: Ful Mercury WalkDescription
A group of people, all with their backs to the camera, investigate the electronic music studio at Mills College as part of a radio event sponsored by KPFA-FM in Berkeley. Broadcasted live from the Mills College Electronic Tape Music Center via a remote, portable transmitter, Tom Zahuranec's "Bucket-Ful Mercury Walk" invited listeners at home to drive to Mills and assist in creating sounds using various electronic equipment including Moog and Buchla synthesizers. Guests discovered and experimented with their manipulated voices while others helped turn knobs on the instruments.Note: Tom's last name is pronounced ‘Zur-a-ness'
