The Profile

Keith Fullerton Whitman is an American electronic musician and composer known for live electronics, modular synthesis and experimental sound works.

Whitman is noted for improvised live sets and recorded works that emphasize texture, process and extended electronic sound techniques; the reviewed release Recorded in Lisbon is a live single-track performance explicitly referencing Alvin Lucier's approach.

The available DeBaser review (odradek) treats Recorded in Lisbon as a 41-minute live single-track exploration of sound and texture. The reviewer frames the work as conceptual and physical, invoking Alvin Lucier's influence. Overall the review is admiring though not calling the release a masterpiece.
