For Orchstra requiem variations, the Fluxus artist Ken Friedman alienated an excerpt of an orchestral concert piece. By overdriving and distorting the recording and playback, Friedman achieves a sound image that imitates the aesthetics of old gramophone listening experiences and takes this kind of sound aesthetic to the extreme.
