Football Game was a plunderphonic experiment. The same American football game was being broadcast on two stations that were adjacent on the cable-TV dial. One station was American, the other Canadian. Due to satellite links, the Canadian broadcast was delayed from the American broadcast. The composer played a mechanical, station-selector switch between the two stations to capture the echo effect of the delay. Editing shaped the performance as the game built to a violent cadence.
