about
Live performance recording from Saturday, October 21, 2006 at The Bombshell Gallery, at 2534 Central Avenue, in St. Petersburg, Florida, during the Clamor Music Fest. I played with five other artists that night - Microwave Windows, ironing, Blast, Space Program, and The Uh - to an enthusiastic audience of about 40 people. The Bombshell Gallery, operated by Gina Vivinetto, was the perfect venue for my first live performance since 1987 - a warm and cozy space, with couches and comfy easy chairs, the walls hung with paintings and lined with shelves of books.
I mixed audio contributions and loops by Mental Anguish, Cystem, David Fuglewicz, International Garbageman, M.Nomized, Charles Rice Goff III and Don Campau - with live electronics, voice, and percussion - Dada fluxus improvisational live action collage. Live sound assistance by Brandon Abell.
Originally recorded on cassette on a Harman Kardon TD 420 cassette recorder. The texts I read were taken from operation instructions for liquid paper and a 3-hole paper punch, and from spam e-mails.
