In December 2011 I recorded a 60-minute microcassette tape filled with the usual Hal McGee sound materials of circuit bent Casio SK-1, Korg Monotron, other noisy minimal electronics, me walking my dogs, talking on the phone, shortwave radio static and tones, stream of consciousness spoken word, me ordering coffee and food at restaurants, traffic sounds and other urban noise pollution, other random daily sounds, surreptitious recordings of other people's conversations, work sounds, etc.
