about

The first release on Steev Hise's Ann Arbor based Viral Communications cassette label, which he ran until 1996, putting out and self-distributing 7 albums of challenging music and audio art, both solo and related projects by collaborators and other artists. This is a solo tape made with electric and prepared guitars, sampler, drum machine, synths, alto saxophone, E-spring, exhaust pipe, 1-string cookie sheet, and vocals, all recorded on a cassette 4-track. It features some of his earliest sample-based work.
"...a mix of industrial noise, pop radio ripoffs, John Cage-inspired madness, and just plain planned chaos." -Current magazine

This album gave the grinch in our family a reason to celebrate xmas music. So well composed from the samples, it's hard to believe it's a live performance. An annual classic showcasing PLU's skills and humor. We love it and laugh every time. Oddio Overplay
