het et al, mami? 1-12-88 mix by zan in the big blur the absolute most I could possibly fit into one mix appears before your ears and shudders away in shame for your ignorance of it's origin. I suppose within this thirty minutes I use sources from twenty to forty different source signals... who knows I never bothered to count or tabulate during the big blur and worse yet you'll never know ~ I can never tell you because I don't know for myself zidslick 1988 {from the cover}

PBK If, Bwana Ditto

zan hoffman — Sun, 24 Dec 2006 17:20:39 GMT

Out of the fury and flurry of releases in 1988 comes this curious mixture of PBK [ca]*, If, Bwana [ny] and Henri Van Der Veen's Ditto [nl] project. *PBK is now in [mi] but I have a convention of crediting the location the person was when the recordings I used were made. If someone I collaborate with moves it is confusing as to where I credit them from being from when I've done releases with them in different locations. So I think this is the most historically accurate way to inform the listener.

Mami- the etiquette of an industrial trauma

Commenced in Barcelona and continued in Valencia this project with the Dutch author and audiosavant Rinus Van Alebeek breaks into new territory, fertile and particular. Rinus attended part of the LEM festival in Gracia, Barcelona and our meeting inspired investigations and explorations in the 6th floor crusty walk-up ancient apartment right off the Rambla in downtown Barcelona. Three recordings were made up there, including material recorded in Barcelona by both of us.
