Tape Loop Improvisations: Volume Seventeen, February 26th, 1989
by Herd Of The Ether Space
Throughout the 1980's, members of the Taped Rugs Productions family gathered in various groupings many times to create and record improvised avant garde music on a Frippertronics-style tape loop system. The recordings were saved; sometimes copies were made for the participants or for individual listeners, but no copies were made available to the general public until early 1989. That's when Charles Rice Goff III, Killr "Mark" Kaswan, and Robert Silverman actually came up with the name: HERD OF THE ETHER SPACE to refer to this loose-knit band of sonic explorers.
This archive series presents unaltered Herd Of The Ether Space tape loop improvisations from the 1980's in the chronological order in which they were created.

Both of these tracks were released by Taped Rugs Productions on the cassette: "Bowed But Unbulging" in 1989. A jpeg image of the cover art for this cassette is included in this archive.
It was during this very recording session that Goff, Kaswan, and Silverman decided to name their loose-knit band of sonic explorers: “The Order Of Chaos.” A few days later, they got out a Roget’s Thesaurus and transformed the name of the group to: “Herd Of The Ether Space.”
