Description
Analogapalooza entry #2 dating from 1980.
This was recorded direct to my Sony boombox (much like the one above)in my bathroom with the guitar lying on the sink and the amp in the tub. No overdubs.
An alligator clip is attached to the b string of my guitar so that it bounces off the e string for the flickery sound while I'm picking on the lower strings and chording somehow. The middle section is played with a kitchen knife. A boss flanger pedal adds the sweep. I had recently seen Fred Frith play his guitar on a table and decided to experiment.
By this time I had moved from St. Mark's Pl. in the East Village to Orchard St. on the Lower East Side.
A whole nine blocks.

Now yer talkin' bud!
I can't think of how many hours I played with my guitar and flanger, just testing the noises. Nothing as cool as this and never an alligator clip or a tub. Either way, I bet your neighbors loved this as much as mine would've!
Thanks for sharing.
