Two of Tamio & Sean's annual summer concerts in New York City recorded in binaural pedestrian splendor by Geoff Dugan, Tamio (sax), Sean (percussion) and the city. Binaural recordings are optimal for headphone listening but I recommend listening via stereo speakers in a room, on a summer day with the window open and the volume turned up. Playing records is a recreational activity. A handmade multiple edition of 500; 12', 180-gram vinyl in a screenprinted kraftboard jacket. Illustration by Nicholas Blechman and printing by VG Kids. Mastered by James Fei. Co-produced with Old Gold Records.Released in 2006. Garage Side: Municipal Parking Garage at the 79th Street Boat Basin, July 20, 2002.

Gen Ken MONTGOMERY & Conrad SCHNITZLER 
'Gen con duets'
CD
Ref : GD 022
13,00 € not available
'Gen con duets is dedicated to a friendship etched in stone Ð errr Ð letter-pressed in paper. It is also an unusual musical collaboration between Gen Ken Montgomery and Conrad Schnitzler. A follow-up to their 1988 album Congen New Dramatic Electronic Music (Generations Unlimited), this is a different kind of electronic music. These recordings were made in 1996 with Con's contemplative 12 finger piano compositions and Gen's everyday recordings. Besides a long pleasurable listen these recordings represent an examination of music, how we listen to it and what we hear, intended or not. The music of Gen con duets is not a perfected formula or mathematical equation. It is the resonance of a moment, a series of moments that play out in time and space beyond the control of the artists and ultimately our control as listeners. Geoff Dugan The audio CD is comprised of 7 untitled tracks: 58 minutes of music. The package includes 12 image cards, video stills of the artists from 'Trans Berlin-Brooklyn Exchange' created by Guido Englich (1985) using a Mac Plus from the video 'On Their Way' by Gregor Schnitzler (1985). The cake-box like container and image cards were designed by GEN, Ben Owen and GD. The entire package was letter-pressed at Middlepress, Brooklyn, New York in a limited edition of 300.' label info
