Kwik version is most tracks were done with a Realistic Electronic Reverb (really a short delay passing as reverb) set up to feedback. It has two sets of mono outputs and inputs. One each for mic can be connected for fdbk., and another set for line level. The line level out can send out the resulting din of patching the mic out into the mic in, which is what I did--simple, easy peasy no-input fun.

The RER line output was played through a venerable gray Realistic mini amp and recorded open air to several separate tracks.

Another set up was a FM radio based feedback loop via a Monotron out into a mini FM transmitter, a Walkman set to FM (to go back into the Monotron), and an old boombox set to FM for playback of that din. So the mixer buss/multiplex here exists in the ether. Only one track of that set up recorded. All of the tracks were mixed in a none too new version of GarageBand.

General philosophy of my doing Juntos is to do something I don't much of in a way I don't or never do. Not quite so this time. I've made much use of the Walkman/Monotron/FM transmission loop in recent times. And I used to use the RER all the damn time, just not lately. So this was a revisiting/recontextualization of oft used means.

A past, somewhat more pop like music-ish use of the RER can be heard hereabouts:
