The
other day I was surfing the net. I decided to check out hal McGee`s website
because there`s always something going on. That`s when I stumbled upon the MOMA
(museum of microcassette art) which is a netlabel based on, you`ve guessed it
microcassette recordings. You contact Hal via email, then he sends you two
microcassettes. You keep one if you like to trade recordings. Then you have to
fill up the second one with basically anything ( as long as they don`t have
racist or homophobic sounds or images). I didn`t feel like recording noise (no
Flesh For Frank material) for such project. I didn`t feel like doing pure, raw
improvised stuff either. What was I gonna do? Maybe I could record some new
Minimal Frank material. Then I could record this new stuff on microcassette
while playing some field recordings (on my digital recorder) and doing live
improvisation, thus creating a kid of live feeling. And that`s what I did. The
name of the album is Minimal Frank – the boxset sessions. It consists of three
music pieces: there`s a session going on somewhere (11.59 minutes), the light
at the end of the tunnel (3.05 minutes), and layercake (15.17 minutes). If you
would like a copy of the original recording, contact me (frank.zen@vif.com). It`s not for sales but
for trading purposes. The second, live, enhanced version will be released (I
hope) on Hal McGee`s tape label. More information here: www.haltapes.com (check out the MOMA section for
availability).
The album is available right now. Get it here:
