Mark Sonnenfeld and Hal McGee - In Loose Disorder (cassette)



This is a microcassette duo collaboration recorded and released in 2013. Mark Sonnenfeld reads is poems while Hal McGee' records daily sounds and spoken words. The final audio mix was done by Hal himself. The end results consists of two long tracks (30 minutes each): a derelict disregard and halfways up a stairwell. Well what can I say? How do I attempt to describe this? Those tracks are a mixture of field recordings, with lots of spoken word and some found sounds (I recognized piano bits, the bus and low-fi ambience). Some would say this is a chaotic mess of various absurdities \ insanities. Others would say this is electroacoustic music with balls. And me? Well… Let`s see… Oh yeah, I got it. This is meditative ambient noise with strange, bizarre, weird  orchestrations \ experimentations going on in the background. I like this recording because it`s not harsh noise, it`s just oh so different indeed. And that`s a damn fact, Jack!   :  Hal McGee, 4230 SW 20th Lane APT. F, Gainesville, FL, 32607, USA.
