Recorded in its entirety on a Sony Cassette-Corder TCM-453V handheld mono cassette recorder using only the built-in condenser microphone
TDK D Normal Bias tape
March-April 2000 in Gainesville, Florida.

Field recordings gibberish and glossolalia cut-up improvised beat sidewalk poetry emergency vehicle sirens and urban noise pollution shortwave radio bursts the local and the universal. Hundreds of chunks of found sounds pasted together into an exhibition of nothing less than Hal's own everyday reality. All of these rough chunks are separated by the noises of the tape recorder being turned on and off.

Originally released by 6 On The Dot
