Recorded February 1996 on analog 4-track at Fort Hazel.
Previously released on Kady O'Gee (FHM008, 1996).
In the 1960s, composer John Cage began experimenting with "chance music." For example, he would have five people on stage with amplified transistor radios, reading instructions instead of music. The players would turn knobs on the radios, and what resulted was partially determined by ambient airwave content. This piece contains no "musical instruments," but because it is organized sound, we still call it music.
