| october 2008 release ; boggling comp of artist “silences” - the word on the street being that this lp, by and large, consists of olson holding a cassette walkman up to either the face of, or telephone receiver jacked up to the artists listed below, and instructed them to be “quiet” ...
whether this qualifies as “good art” is something each one of you will have to take up with your respective maker(s) and/or your personal copy of cage’s “silence” ... as you can hear from the sound-sample there’s a fair bit going on other than silence ; cell phones interfere, heating and a/c systems come to life, traffic passes ...
confusing, yes, but in its own way a kind of a time-capsule of this particular musical social network ... |

| am-799 no state no sound compilation one-sided lp
hold on gnaw...last but not least..... the no state no sound comp lp. don't know what led up to it...think i vaguely remember getting "dared" by nurse khrust to put out a record of silence by the crew, not sure, but maybe told haunted square d about it....but anyhow.....flashblack to an average but killer brewsday in the late summer, got the crew shooting the gip, no biggy, and square d rolls up with his "body morph" one minute silent track....takes a sec to remember but all right...lets do this.
greh and v invite the now deep crew black to they hut, and on the way i had a walkman in the whip, so i popped in d's master, hit record and the stop watch for a minute and me and the connartist sat in silence for a minute and recorded the second track birth refusal. as we got to grehs, we assembled all the jammers present and hit em up for a minute, all on three different walkman's all on the original master tape.
was totally strange, sick llama was just standing in a yard with the crew looking at him pointing a recorder his way while nothing happened. it was like a very strange gig. so after everyone at the party got recorded/ trapped in no sound, some the garage, some inside a bathroom whilst the crew stared at the close door, someone had the idea to call up some jammers. so no fucker johnny, romero, others all held on the line for a minute of nothing. totally rules.
the end result sounds like a folkways experiment. i ended up coming home and getting busted for "recording silence and not grabbing the air condition window unit" which was the only reason i went grehs begin with. hey, window ac unit or not, you are still kool with this platter!! heres the full iiterary, recorded in order, no overdubs or tom foolery, no voices nothing, just weird hiss and an occasional bird chirp in lonesome...
