HAL MCGEE VS. BLACK BEAST OF ARRRGHHH
with deconstructed documentation

In November 2013 BBOA invited Hal McGee to do a "versus" audio work which BBOA would release on CDR. Hal recorded a personal correspondence audio letter on a 30-minute microcassette for black beast of arrrghhh. For his part of the versus release Hal created a stereo mix of the two 15-minute sides of his microcassette audio letter, and burned the 15-minute mix onto a CDR and mailed it to BBOA along with the 30-minute audio letter tape. BBOA recorded an audio response on a 30-minute microcassette. He then mixed the two sides of his tape together into one 15-minute track. BBOA combined his mix with Hal's mix to create "Hal McGee vs. black beast of arrrghhh", a special personal edition CDR release.

The first track here is the final "Hal McGee vs. black beast of arrrghhh" mix created by BBOA for the CDR release. Also included are the four sides of the two microcassette tapes, and the sub mixes created by McGee and BBOA. In effect, you will hear a deconstructed documentation of the creation of "Hal McGee vs. black beast of arrrghhh".
