One
of the things about this Fun with Nuns cassette is that it tells you inside of it
how it was made. It is a recording of
found metal objects being banged and scraped along outside of someone’s
house. While I don’t mind removing the
current from the wizard, it still makes me question a lot of what I hear when I
listen to music such as this.
For
one thing, I knew right when I started this cassette that it wasn’t called “Heavy
Metal” because of that music genre or because of the movie, but rather because
of the metal objects being involved in the making of it. But to me, it sounds like a lot of pots and
pans are being banged around in a kitchen.
I
can hearing the scraping, the sliding, the shifting and it makes more sense that
was done outside, but for whatever reason I still thought of this as being
recorded in a kitchen and I’m not sure how I worked out that one
logically.
This
cassette also makes me wonder if anyone has ever put a tape recorder on them
(Like when people used to snitch in old movies) and went into some random
restaurant’s kitchen and started banging and making noises. While
illegal, that would also be a certain amount of fun to hear, especially if you
didn’t get caught.
None
the less, without encouraging crimes, I’m not sure what this has to do with
nuns exactly, but I do find it to be appealing because it can tell you how it
is being made but you can still form your own opinions about the recipe and
that is just brilliant.
