The Scotch Tape Hall of Fame (Pitter Patter)

A high school friend Doug Haynes and I got together one day and constructed a piece using lots of sound source tapes that I had previously chosen. We listened to them all, categorized them, then mapped out an order and combination for them. We went back over the complete work with a carefully organized and calculated vocal overdub for added emphasis. Many things happen in this work that are difficult to explain and it is not at all as dry as it may sound. The result is called The Scotch Tape Hall of Fame, and it has a beautiful silk-screened cover. The sources are from Dave Prescott, Tuf, Nick, Tom Furgas, Gory Armadillos, De Fabriek, Sismoid, Kazuhiro Ohtsuka and Mark Hanley.
