"Minneapolis Summit"
by Escape Mechanism, Steev Hise, The Tape-beatles, and Wobbly
MiniCD, 21 minutes
New Disk Documents Five-way Collaboration
The murky snapshots on our web site tell only part of the story of
what went on in an undisclosed location last October 1 in
Minneapolis. Artmaking. With sounds. A "summit meeting" of sorts,
like those of the old jazz masters, finally performing together after
already-long careers of individual brilliance behind them.
Something like that, anyway. Suffice to say, there now exists a
recording documenting the improvised conflux of five audio-art
personalities: Escape Mechanism, Steev Hise, the two members of The
Tape-beatles and Wobbly, and it is now available now for your
listening perusal.
Released on the Amsterdam-based Staalplaat label, the disc consists
of a 21-minute edit of the longest of three takes made during the
recording session. The initial edits were undertaken by Hise and
Wobbly in November, who then trustingly passed it on to the
Tape-beatles to complete the job. In all cases, the edits were
limited to a small number of cuts and crossfades, with no
chronological re-arrangement or overdubbing.
This release takes the unusual form of an 80mm MiniCD. If you are
unfamiliar with this format, not to worry: though somewhat rarely
used, this format is an industry standard, and all CD players can
handle these disks (consult your drive documentation if you are using
a slot-load device). Because it is itty-bitty, it sells for the
modest sum of six U.S. dollars.
As if that weren't enough, a mini-VideoCD of footage collected at the
event is in preparation, and will be made available for a similar
modest sum in the coming months. It will be announced via this vector
in due time.
