The first ever recording that started it all.

This cassette is roughly ten minutes per side and was designed to be looped while playing from the inside of a piece of sculpture. The sounds were derived and collaged together from AM radio religious broadcasts as well as cable TV news and advertising.

Strange socio-political dialogue was spliced together by using two tape decks and lots of pausing and cueing between them. Literally this is a verbal collage with some other sounds dropped in for effect and to pace the phrases apart. I had no access to reel-to-reel multi-track tape so no actual physical cutting could be done. It was all done with cheap off-the-shelf consumer cassettes. I used this technique for years to come, until I got a 4-track and software for sampling.
