Hello friends! up close and personal is my newest album of audio folk art dictaphone assemblage stuff for your enjoyment. There is a fair amount of synthesizer sounds on this album, along with the usual everyday sounds and spoken wordage. You can stream it in the Bandcamp audio player above, and visit a special page where you can view a slideshow containing more than 200 photos, here — http://www.haltapes.com/up-close-and-personal.html

up close and personal is also available on CDR and cassette. Send me an email to inquire about prices.
​Also, I will trade a CDR copy of the album for your audio and mail art items. cassettes are available for trade only for people in the USA because overseas postage for one cassette is $14!
My address is:
Hal McGee
4230F SW 20th Lane
Gainesville, FL 32607
USA

Also available is an album I issued in early July titled Junely. You can stream it in the Bandcamp player below, and visit a 600-photos slideshow page here — http://www.haltapes.com/junely.html
Junely is 102 minutes in length so I guess that I could offer it as a trade too, but it would be a double-CDR so inquire first before sending something in trade for it. It is not available on cassette.

OOO... what a lovely surprise, how very nice, thanks much Mr. McG! They say: "Ask And You Shall Receive," but how extraordinarily pleasant it is to "Not Ask And Receive!" I am looking forward to hearing all those synthesizer sounds -- not gonna spoil it by listening first on Bandcamp either.

I have been doing a lot of my black and white Goff graphics (now calling these: "Groffics") over the last few weeks. I think I'll put a few in an envelope with your address on it...

Smiling from Kansas... Gratitudes To You!

Up close and personal is full of mysteries. Like who agreed to have her pictures taken but then objected to having them published? Who ordered fried cat?

And then there is the hot dog order form...Love it!

Elle Driver and hot dogs just seem to go together.

    I have been making my own homemade experimental music since 1981.

    I was an active participant in the 1980s Cassette Culture scene, and I operated the Cause And Effect Cassette Distribution Service and label, and recorded solo as Dog As Master, and in a duo as Viscera.

    I published six issues of the original Electronic Cottage print magazine, 1989-91.

    In the last 44 years I have recorded, produced and released more than 300 solo audio works, collaborations and compilations.
