SUN RATTLER/HER MUSIC

Two sidelong pieces from Marshall Avett.

The first, either titled "Sun Rattle" or "Sun Rattler," reaches a large metal fist into outer space and knocks that big ball of fiery gas around the milky way. Large, crusty electronic sounds produced with junk/damaged equipment and fed through tiny headphones into a drooling microphone. The guest room was never the same again.

The second is called "Her Music," and was recorded in the house Avett used to live in. It remained vacant for a weeks following move-out, he knew where the key was, and the only thing left in the house was this big female spider with a web in the glass of the front door window. She had two huge eggs sacks ready to pop, too, so she must have had it pretty good in there. Anyway, different sound sources set up in five different rooms and left to their own devices while the recording devices were moved around throughout. LIke being wrapped in delicate silk threads under the full moon - delicious, delirious and devoured.

Edition of 8 tapes released in August 2008 for a show, but still a few around. $5 each.



STILL AVAILABLE
