. . . . . .

In 2015, I was asked to work on a compilation cassette celebrating the music championed on my experimental and avantgarde music blog at the time, Continuo's Documents.
continuo-docs.tumblr.com

I came up with this mixtape based on 23 short excerpts (2–3mns on average) from sound files posted on the blog between 2012–2015. Source recordings include aural documents in lo-fi, rare cassette releases and artist records, by either contemporary artists, sound artists, sound poets or contemporary composers.

Sadly, the cassette itself never materialized, though I believe the excerpts are pretty varied and entertaining,

Front cover artwork after a photo of dancer Rosalind Newman from the early 1980s. Newman’s choreographies have included music by Meredith Monk, Laurie Anderson, Charlemagne Palestine or Conlon Nancarrow.
