I’ve known Dan for a good chunk of years, and his audio—all generated with hand-built equipment—consistently delivers. Whether it’s his bibletron synth, “equivocator” atari 2600 cartridge, or foxhole radio, Dan’s audio output is like no one else’s.
For this release, Dan was inspired by Herb Albert’s Whipped Cream & Other Delights LP (shocker) and A Humument—an “altered” art book by Tom Phillips that he created by painting over pages and “connecting new narratives through textual pathways.”
The 7” pays homage (visually and aurally) to two other works that have influenced Dan: The Haters Mind the Gap and Gavin Bryars’s The Sinking of the Titanic.
The release come in a Whipped Cream & Other Delights jacket (how could it not…) and includes a booklet with photos of all 101 jackets (match the one you get with its picture in the booklet!), a brief overview of Dan’s interest in Whipped Cream & Other Delights (and his subsequent acquisition of 101 copies of it), and a description of the audio creation process.
Edition of 26 lettered copies (lettered with a Dymo label
maker, no less.)
$60 ppd in the US. If you’re overseas, please get in touch.
thanks!
