"Machinations" is a collaborative stew cooked up by Charles Rice Goff III, several members of the Taped Rugs family, and the Tapegerm Collective (circa 2002). Edits of recordings from a wide variety of sources were altered and glued together by Goff, Buzzsaw, Mike Adams, and Joshua Duringer to create a bundle of sonic sculptures full of provocative ideas and bizarre sounds.
Several of the pieces in this collection are built on loops provided by Tapegerm ( http://www.tapegerm.com/ ). A few of the compositions started out as bits of live performances or improvisations. Records, television and radio broadcasts, commercial tapes, etc. provided much of the source material for Machinations as well. Members of the Taped Rugs acts: Disism, Turkey Makes Me Sleepy, Herd Of The Ether Space, and Magic Potty Babies participated in the assembly of this multi-contextual sound presentation. All twenty-eight compositions from Machinations are presented here:
