Taped Rugs 06 06 Tour of the Southeast USA
North Carolina Disc One First recordings made at Bret Hart's home. Goff had brought along several instruments & fx. Bret has tons of exotic & unusual acoustic & electronic instruments. Scotty Irving joined in on these sonic improvisations. They also recorded more sonic soundscapes at the Elsewhere Artist Collaborative. Brian Dunsmore joined in to play some Sonics as well. A great disc full of sonic mayhem. Some of the tracks were recorded by Benny Johnson also.

Bret & Goff did some more sonic improvisations joined by Ed Shepherd, some great music! The next day the two recorded at a abandoned cotton mill & at the site of what once was a calcium carbide factory. The two beat out & scraped out some very industrial sounding improv's. More improv of sonic proportion was recorded later at Bret's home. Some very great music indeed!

The final leg of the tour.
Over the next three days Goff & Phinney recorded in Phinney's tiny but functional studio. All improvisational pieces, Eight recordings in three days. Phinney mixed them into four tracks. Used in these recordings were Goff's full battery of instruments he brought with him & Phinney's collection of synths, guitars, radios & other devices. This gave them a lot to work with to record these pieces of unique sonic madness. Two pieces of a sonic blend on this disc plus a piece Goff captured on micro cassette.

The tours Phinney took Goff on in Memphis had a strong influence on these recordings. Two more mixes of wild sonic experimentation plus a humorous collage of readings from the fence in front of Graceland that Goff recorded on his micro cassette recorder. These were the final recordings of the tour!

Thanks Chris for the special attention, and to both you and Hal for piecing this all together so nicely! Both of you, your families, and all of the other participants and their families, so many people -- made this whole thing work out as well as it did. ALSO, something that I could not find online years ago when I cooked up the Taped Rugs 06 06 page, Jerry Kranitz did a big Aural Innovations interview/feature on the tour. I just did a little digging around, and I've found it online here:

Ha! Well, I see now that I already DO have a link to Jerry's interview on the page. That appointment with the eye doctor is clearly overdue, and maybe a trip to the brain surgeon as well is in order for me... Anyway -- I encourage anyone interested in factoids about any of the participants involved in this project to check that interview out too -- especially people who are not familiar with Jerry -- he's one of the greatest chroniclers of sonic art out there.

I hit the submit by accident lol but if not familiar with Jerry Kranitz check out his interviews, reviews he knows his music like you wouldn't believe! Search out Aural Innovations for some really great reading material!
