Goff Noring McGee - Cryptomnesia
90 minutes
List of Cassettes, Ordering info, and Trades
Cryptomnesia consists of four live improvisations recorded directly to stereo cassette on Sunday, October 12th, 1997.
The instrumentation employed to create the music of "Cryptomnesia" consisted of three relatively low-cost digital keyboards:
1) Concertmate 950
2) Casio CTK-330
3) Yamaha Portasound PSS-460
and three sound effects units:
1) Digitech RP5 Effects Processor
2) Alesis Microverb IIII
3) Yamaha FX500 Simul-Effect Processor
Goff, McGee, and Noring used their vast combined experience as experimental improvisers to create 90 minutes of compelling music with this limited sonic tool kit. No alterations were made to the original recordings.
McGee later described the album:
"On "Cryptomnesia," the tape with Brian and Charlie, I can detect parts that sound like Stockhausen, The Residents, Cluster, and even Jerry Lee Lewis!" (from HALzine, Issue 5, December, 1997)
Noring later recalled:
"I for one walked away from this recording with a great feeling...There was no extra work involved in the production of this tape, except for me losing much sleep dubbing up a master copy for myself, so Hal could take the original back to sunny Florida." (from HALzine, Issue 5, December, 1997)
