about

This experiment is exactly what the title says. I needed to waste a little more than 3 minutes of cassette tape so that I could start recording more original songs as demos. Since the next song I wanted to record was longer than 3 minutes, I just wanted to waste some cassette space with a bunch of noises coming from me and me talking gibberish or whatever came to mind. I did this twice. I recorded one track on the left channel and looped it again and recorded another track of improvised stuff on the right channel. I just said whatever came to mind and did this within a few minutes. Not much thought was put into this except that I wanted to waste some cassette space to make room for another cassette, so this was the silly avant-garde result. I did this back in 1985, when my two track recorder was pretty much brand new.
This is song #232.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

Left Speaker:
As, Double, And Why? 'Cause I Have Extra Tape On Side B Of The Side 20 B, Experimental Tape So I Just Had Some Extra Time So ; Extra Space, Maybe About 2 ½ Minutes, I’ll Just Waste Time By Doing Nothing. How Does That Sound? And More Lies, And That’s A Saw. Never Had I Thought That Such Words Would Make Zero Sense And Are Meaningless, And Mumble, Mumble, Mumble. Life Doesn’t Matter. As A Song, This Experimental As It Says, But That’s Fine. And, My Kitty Cat Is Dead After He Died Instead. But That Was Okay. It’s Triple Voice, And This Is Amazing Feets As In Foots. And By The Time This Ends Is Okay. I Consider This A Song Whether You Consider It A Fucking, Blinking, Licking, Thinking, Picking, Sinking Song. Ha, It Is A Song, Wah! The Penis Died And He Fell And Never Did I Know A Fat Man Would Dwell. And The Fat Man Died From His Buttocks To His Nose, Was Rearranged From His Face To His Head. But Of Course, He Died Instead. Never Did I Know That He’d Blow In Snow 'Cause It’s Cold And He Sold Bold Ego And So, So He Know, That The Nature’s Lose Their Virginity From 18 Years To 14 Years In Between That Age And I Died. And Gena And I Bliss Tips And Sirena Gibson’s. But I Have To Try. And I Tried. God I Tried. Oh, Ah! But The, And Never Did I Know, Know, Know.
Right Speaker:
Hm, This Is November 24th On A Sunday, 1985. See, The Only Reason Why I’m Doing This Is Just To Waste Some Time You See? This Sound And Of Course Is A Lie, So Two Voices Speak Lies. (Whistles) Boy, This Is Sure Boring Isn’t It? Well, If You Think This Is Boring, This Is Part Of The Experimental Tape, So If You Hear A Lot Of This Wasting Time, So I Might As (Intelligible) How About……Whoops, I Unplugged Myself For A Couple Seconds There. And Now I’m Plugging Back In. Ah, Here We Go. Isn’t That Better? Ah. Okay, This Is Still Wasting Some Time; I’ll Stop This For A Second. Okay, Now I Am Back. Well, This Should Get Better After Awhile. Ah, These Experimental Tapes Are Like Shit To Me, So A Hold For A God Dang. I Can’t Say Anything Dirty Or Nice, Cheap, Thrilling. How About This? No, Won’t Do That Either, Well, Now What? I Don’t Know. How About I Do This? Well, That Was, Whoops I Made A Boo-Boo, Think I’ll Have To Fix This Mic. Again. Shit, Oh Shit, I Really Goofed That Up. While I Stick In There, Where A Magazine You Know That 60% Of Teenagers. Oh, Excuse Me, I’m Sorry. I Didn’t Mean To Say That, I’m Just Have To Waste Time. And Was She Was On My Mind And So Am I. A-Oh, Is He Day-O. Come And Come In A Cameo. Oh, Is He Day-O, Callalalala Pop, Pop, Oh The End.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
