As promised in Excerpt Eleven, Taped Rugs here reintroduces the world to a recording session from September 3rd, 1988, which features the live improvising talents of Charles Goff III, Killr Kaswan, Stuart Sands, and Robert Silverman. This incarnation of Herd Of The Ether Space was full of enough creative fire that day to burn up two nonstop Frippertonic-style recordings of over forty minutes each. A cello, several guitars, various keyboards, digital sound samples, percussion devices, toys, sound effects, and a whole lot of record albums manipulated on two turntables—all of these sound generators melded into the tape loop’s rotations that day to stir up an ever-evolving cauldron of creativity. The subconscious communication that went on between the musicians at this session should be obvious to any careful listener.

Both of these hot, extended recordings were released by Taped Rugs in 1989 on a tape appropriately dubbed: “The Kettle Is Boiling Over.” This excerpt features the piece from Side A of the cassette: “Just Say Maybe.” And because this tape exhibits such exceptional and unique qualities, Taped Rugs will present Side B in its next podcast excerpt. Get ready to discover places that you can find no where except in the Ether Space…
