MOMA053 - Zebulon

Picture
recorded in Gainesville, Florida, USA
September 2013

"Instruments involved: kalimba, tuning whistle, unplugged electric guitar, balloons, some birds, and some cats. Most of the tape was recorded while sitting around my home in Gainesville Florida during the daytime. The last bit of side B was recorded at Action Research # 115 on 9/11/13."

Hey, I loved this as much as I knew I would! I got to hang out with Zebulon for 30 minutes, just sitting around the house, talking to the cat, listening to birds, listening to him improvise on kalimba, and tuning in with him as he spins the dial on the radio. Later, who needs to plug in an electric guitar? - seriously! - plus moments from Action Research show #115. As intimate as a boombox, chill, gentle, lo-fi, lo-tech - you are right THERE with Zebulon on the tape, as the tape spins, and you can actually hear the microcassette recorder record.
