about

From "Music With Sound" (DOVe CD44, 1991).

In true Plunderphonic spirit the Tape-beatles can perhaps best be defined by comparisons to outside references. Like Negativland, the Tape-beatles are a tape-music collective (though not nearly as active, with only 5 releases in the last 14 years). Members are John Heck, Ralph Johnson, Lloyd Dunn, Paul Neff and Linda Morgan Brown, all originally from Iowa City. Like Negativland they maintain an extensive website, although they have not yet had the good fortune to be sued into the public eye. Like John Oswald they have attempted to put their music in the public domain to shelter themselves from copyright litigation, perhaps realizing they stand no chance of getting rich from it. According to the website the Tape-beatles have now gone their separate ways although they're still selling merch.

This track features a marvelous rave-up of cacophony, although I have added a dramatic new ending since the original segued into another track. I didn't think they'd mind.

about

Anode Seattle, Washington

I've recorded under the name Anode since 1972, in much the same way that Winnie the Pooh lives under the name Sanders.

What I've recorded may not be 'music' to everyone's ears, since it includes "organized sound" and soundscapes, both real and imagined. I make no apologies; my skill set is limited.

My authentic soundscapes can be found over here:
