Single US 2011 on Anarchymoon Recordings label
Electronic and Spoken Word (Field Recording, Experimental)
Limited, numbered edition of 177. Thanks to Katie Parker & Guy Michael Davis for operating the kilns and letterpress. Gen Ken Montgomery "1/f noise" one-sided 12inch LP with printed B-side "1/f Noise" began as an immersive listening performance where people were led one by one, blindfolded, down eight flights of stairs, through corridors, in and out of rooms with firing kilns, clay mixers, buffering machines and ventilation ducts. This performance, plus the sounds of ceramic production--recorded at the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning in Cincinnati, Ohio--were then combined with an 8-channel concert recording from Art Damage Lodge to create the composition on this record. Regular and artist editions available: Regular edition: limited to175 copies with insert in letter-pressed cover by Future Retrieval, with pro-printed inserts, printed label on the A side, and ink printing on the blank B-side. An artist edition: limited to 20 copies packaged in a handmade box with 2 ceramic sculptures cast from a mold made from Gen Ken's inner ear by the avant-garde ceramic artist team of Katie Parker & Guy Michael Davis (Future Retrieval).
