1-3: Previously Unreleased

In 2017, I began recording and releasing a series of analog synth pieces as limited edition cassettes, some in editions of 25 copies, and some in editions of 50 or 100 copies. Some had simple packaging and some had more elaborate packaging. I also made these releases available through all the major digital platforms.

This work was an evolution of my overloaded wall-of-synth-noise Super Eight Loop recordings, which I began while I was living in New York, in the 1990s, and which were initially intended as soundtracks for walking through a pre-sterilization Times Square.

These newer recordings were intended to be far more nuanced and dynamic. Notably, they are meant to be listened to at a more moderate volume – allowing city sounds to blend into the music – and so as not to drown out voices, traffic, construction, and other day-to-day urban sounds that one might encounter.

With these releases, I went back to my familiar method of recording the synth tracks on four-track cassette, and several of these pieces are mixed with field recordings and other external sound sources, to add further personal elements to the music.

Late last year, I thought about the interconnected nature of all of these releases and I decided to try to configure them in some new way and in a new format. This might appeal to those who haven't heard these recordings yet, to those who don't listen to cassettes or don't listen to streaming music, or to those who missed some of them when they were originally released. This certainly might fit in with my long history of series, formatting, and standardized packaging. There's also a dual meaning to and an inside joke connected to the title, which some people might get. It's not really that funny, but it makes me chuckle.
