To get
my first bit out of the way, I always expect Johnny’s last name to be “Dibiase”
and as such, I always expect at some point during this cassette to hear that
all too familiar laugh followed by “Money money money money money money money
money monnnnneeeeeeeeeeeey”. It seems
only fitting for it to be sampled on here somewhere, but apparently that is
just me so we’ll move on.
“Guided
Motion” is kind of an exercise in how different motions can create different
sounds. When I was a school aged kid we
went to the science museum in Boston and they showed us how a rapid series of
pictures can create a moving image. It
is in this way that I feel we break up a series of sounds to create these
individual sounds, or to capture motion as sound.
For the
most part, the music contained here within is of the ambient nature as it has
that fog drone quality that can easily fill a room, yet stay somewhat haunting
and eerie like that movie “The Mist”. There
are very minimal background beeps and some other noises at times, but on the
whole this is some whirrs like that Australian instrument I think is called the
didgeridoo (Had to spell check that!) and also just a Matrix-like vacuum.
There
are these little hints of scrambled electronics and tape manipulations in the
background, as well as some aggressive winds but this maintains its relaxing
quality throughout. Also, due to the somewhat
personal feel I like to think that this cassette has, you are best off
listening to this through earbuds/headphones.
The sound itself is big enough to fill a room, as I wrote earlier, but
it serves you better to keep it all for yourself.
