--------
Viscera
A Whole Universe Of Horror Movies sessions (early 1984)
- stereo microphone plugged into cassette deck, room recordings
- presumably recorded at 821 N. Penn
- vocals un-amplified, instruments played through guitar amp
- 00:00
- 00:04 - DRUM MESS
- BLANK AND FACTUAL (Final Mix)
- Casio MT-11 and VL-1 (Deb; Boss Dr. Rhythm drum machine; Hal vocal)
-- actually two versions: in the first one, Hal’s vocal is indistinct, on the right - in the second one, Hal’s vocal is louder, clearer, more in the middle
- Deb’s Experiment (Petals On Water) - (tape containing voices and piano recordings (what was later titled “Shards” on Side B of Horror Movies, played back on left (possibly through stereo speaker); MT-11, Dr. Rhythm drum machine, played through guitar amp)
- FISH dub #1
Dr. Rhythm, MT-11 (Deb), Hal vocal (center), clarinet (Deb), and some taped percussion source). This obviously sounds like this is an overdub piece, with pre-recorded materials played back, while improvising a new part)
- Changing Minds 1-18-84
Hal vocal (left), Deb on MT-11 (center), perhaps VL-1 (presumably Deb, on right). This might be another overdub piece. “Changing Minds” was on Side B of Horror Movies.
- Voices In The Room Upstairs 1-18-84
Hal vocal (left), Deb on Casio MT-11 (center)
- silence after 44: 56
- tape ends at 47:54
Side B: Listen above
Swamp Patrol JAM
Sunday, December 25, 1983
- stereo microphone plugged into cassette deck, room recordings
- possibly recorded at Rick Karcasheff’s house
- there are apparently three amplification sources: one is certainly David’s guitar amp, another is Jaffe & McGee’s guitar amp, the third is…? (possibly Jack Sexson’s amp?)
- my guess is that Hal generally always played on the left (in the stereo field), David in center, Deb on right.
- first improvisation (Hal and David are too close to the mic)
- David Mattingly, guitar, left-center
- Hal, Casio MT-11, center
- Debbie, Casio VL-1, right
- second improvisation (part of this was used on the Swamp Patrol release)
- Hal or Deb on a VL-1, left
- David, guitar, center
- Hal or Deb on a VL-1, right
- third improvisation
- VL-1 on left
- guitar in center (possibly played by Hal?)
- VL-1 on right
- fourth improvisation
- VL-1 on left
- guitar in center (sounds like David is back on guitar)
- VL-1 on right
- fifth improvisation (four sound sources)
- VAL-1 on left
- Casio MT-11 in center (possibly with one or more keys taped down)
- guitar in center (David)
- VL-1 on right
- sixth improvisation
- two VL-1s (one of which is now closer to the center)
- seventh improvisation (interrupted by feedback)
- VL-1 left-center
- guitar in center
- VL-1 on right
- eighth improvisation (part of this was used on the Swamp Patrol release)
- guitar on left
- MT-11 in center (Debbie)
- harmonica (Hal) on right + Hal vocal (toward end reads from Blondie comic strip)
ends with Hal’s exclamation “Pause that shit”
- ends at 36:29
----------------
- 36:39
probably Casio MT-11 - probably Debbie
a few seconds in both channels (although split) - then all in left channel
- 40:57
- labeled on j-card “Geometry final version”
- (Debbie vocal, through guitar amp with tremolo and vocal) truncated
- re-started
- a third version (overdub version, with previous version played back while new vocal is recorded)
- ends at 43:59
no sound on tape until end
- tape ends at 48:06
