about

Banjo Problems is a microcassette duo collaboration by M.Stactor and Hal McGee. Stactor and McGee each recorded 62 minutes of sounds on microcassettes. McGee then created two rough and raw improvised collage mixes of about 31 minutes each. The long collages were then broken into eight shorter tracks.
