This is a previously-unreleased track from 1985.
The artwork features my cat, Timmy, with his claw caught in a curtain. After I shot the photo with my phone, I extricated him. He escaped [f]unharmed.
In March of 2021, I spent two days at Mono Lake. On my first afternoon there, lenticular clouds were forming to the east, over the Nevada line, spinning, moving, then evaporating. I shot this video as dusk descended, and sped it up 5x. I topped the video with a track from 1988 entitled “What Month Is It?”
You can buy the song from Bandcamp — and today, April 2, Bandcamp is waiving its portion of sales, meaning artists make more money from their music.
I think this is one of the first things I recorded. It’s the first track on the 8.81 – 1.83 cassette.
This was done in my bedroom at my parents’ house in Lakewood, CA in 1981. The title is taken from an Oblique Strategies card, as I was fixated on Eno’s “Discreet Music” at the time.
The found recordings were obtained by hanging a mic outside the window.
Found some more stuff.
Groceries* is an R. Stevie Moore cover.
Damn, this tape is hissy.
