A CD-length album by Greg Fox in five parts. Story in part two also by Greg Fox. The first part is a ten-minute explosion of headless recorder tape cut-up, the second is the story, accompanied by 1990s ensemble pieces, all about a man on a park bench who thinks he is God until he steps in dog-poo. The third part is a long VERY aggressive VERY unpleasant tape piece for virtuoso keyboard. The fourth is a disturbing look at man versus machine, including a horrifying tirade of abuse from the ZX Spectrum's Currah Microspeech unit. The final part is a brief outdoor release with birds and cars but not much silence. See additional support files for additional information.
Recorder Revisited dates from April 2005. Dreaming Shit contains ensemble performances from the mid 1990s (my copyright) including 'New Miracle Scenes', 'Bloody', 'Dark Blow' and 'Overture: Electric Spring 95'. The finished version dates from summer 2004 but the story dates from around summer 2003. Cat Bag dates from January 2005 and was made with a 2-note FM keyboard and is a cut-up of a serial improvisation. Fang Box dates from February 2005 and includes earlier tape pieces from 2003. Textin The Carpark dates from March 2005 and was recorded in March, Cambs, UK.
"Dreaming shit" and "Catbag" finish up the 90s strand of fetishistic interest in serial technique (see support document "New Miracle Scenes"). The first four movements are primarily based around sweeping tape cut-up techniques as exemplified by William Burroughs as well as (certainly in Cat-Bag) the more developed small-scale detail of formal musique concrete.
