Invisible Shadows
|
Early Jaffe and McGee
cassette recordings, Indianapolis, 1981 audio documentary with commentary by Hal McGee 
|
A collection of material from the earliest cassette recordings that Debbie Jaffe and I made in the year 1981. It’s almost 150 minutes of listening, 30 minutes of which are commentaries that I recently recorded, in which I talk about the recordings, the ideas behind them, how Debbie and I met, etc.
Some of this material was later used by Debbie on the 60 Minutes Of Laughter cassette (1983), but most of these recordings have been unheard by anyone but us until now. What you’ll hear are basic, raw, primitive cassette recordings of us exploring and creating experimental cassette music from scratch, out of nothing, making it up as we go along.
