“That Blast Of Noise,” which appeared in the previous podcast, peeks in here again to introduce yet another member of the Herd Of The Ether Space. The first piece on the cassette: “Antoo,” recorded on March 18th, 1989, features Gibson, Goff, Kaswan, and Will Tait. Tait is a visual artist who briefly popped into the Taped Rugs universe to leave behind a few graphic images for cassette cover art and a few twiddles of sonic magic in the Taped Rugs studio.

The March 18th session was recorded on the Taped Rugs Frippertronics-style tape loop system and features guitars, cello, keyboards, modified toys, oddly spun phonograph records, and much more, including several dosages of live manipulation of the tape loop itself. The second piece in this podcast was recorded during the same session, but was released by Taped Rugs on the 1989 cassette: “Tuts Slaves.” It is appropriately dubbed: “If The Will Is Spiriting.”

The accompanying photograph is a rare look at George Gibson.
