Compact Disk 01 01 The First Time

THE FIRST TIME
Audio Recording (Tape 1)
December 1993

This marks the first in a series of audio recordings. During the course of the FLAT, we began to tape our conversations. These became both a document of our ‘brainstorming sessions’ and raw material for later sound work. Barry, Vaughn and myself messed around with an antique gramophone by playing the ‘nonplaying’ side of a onesided 33 RPM Schubert record (a shrill sound/noise) at 78 RPM. We also discussed possible ideas for recording music:

Vaughn: They should release a Butthole Surfers album on the old 78-speed format.
Barry: No fuck! We should do that.
Vaughn: You know PIL released a limited edition single with the hole misplaced on the record.
