HalMcGeeMapsOfNowhere Hal McGee audio opensource_audio Four long tracks distilled from 12 hours of field recordings made on a handheld cassette recorder - recorded August through October 2000. Lots of shortwave radio tones and static; surreptitious recordings from my work environment in a hospital; quotidian, found and trash sounds: alarm clock, Hare Krishna chanting, public transportation, street & traffic noises, toys, children, family, howling maniac dogs, mundane conversations -- audio ethnographic recordings from the streets, alleys, sidewalks, parking lots, and fields of Gainesville, Florida -- all blended, multitracked and contorted into big concrete music noisy cut-up collages. I employed chance process, aleatory and automatistic methods of dada and surrealism in the making of Maps Of Nowhere. Constructed on a Fostex XR-5 4-track cassette recorder. 2000 2000 lo-fi;cassette;field recordings;collage;fluxus;dada;surrealism;noise http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/ 2009-09-28 08:23:37 2009-09-28 08:14:49 haltapes@gmail.com Hal McGee 2009-09-28 08:27:30 2009-09-28 20:05:36 Hal McGee
