about

Pataphysical book reviews (vol II). Sound essays of potential books of the same.

Some tracks already featured on the Bandcamp Guitaret Album, to which you should also listen.

Sound collage orchestrations per Cage (1937)
"Wherever we are, what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it, it disturbs us. When we listen to it, we find it fascinating. The sound of a truck at 50 m.p.h. Static between the stations. Rain. We want to capture and control these sounds, to use them, not as sound effects, but as musical instruments."

The album is binaural for 65 crosstalk speakers. I can make you a headphones version if you need one.

Interested in orchestration using field recordings, per the great John Cage's suggestions (1937).
The pieces are all pataphysical book reviews. They consist of musical essays on books of the same title that haven't been written, but should have.
