Brothers Meditate

Here's the description:

Brothers Meditate" is the solo-project of Bblitch Anderson of the Fake Masters.
This work is from 1996, a four-track-tape-project based on a box of found tape reels recorded in GDR(east germany)from west german radiostations.
all that reels contain documentations about the third reich.
Bblitch worked up his past. His past? Which past? THE past!

This is me talking now:

  I enjoy this. The first bit, Oh my god, is a mishmash of tape samples over some electric guitar plinking and what sounds like a chord organ or maybe some other kind of organ. The tapes are backwards in places.  Standard fair. This is noise or not. The instruments in the background do just enough to hold everything together.

the first track blends into the second as it appears that this tape was recorded live. I'm picturing some fellows in a dank basement surrounded by broken instruments, drums that are falling apart, reel-to-reel recorders stacked on top of one another on rickety metal shelves.

This little ep length thing is an interesting listen. Reminds me of some of the more out there Halaka stuff.

More from the Lozupone R2R Tapes

This tape is labeled 1974 JAM

sounds like there are acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, and some female vocals. This is some crazy stuff. I don't even know. I want so badly to believe that this is really a family fucking around in their house recording shit on reel to reel, but maybe it's an elaborate ruse.

GOOD LORD.

d/l the processed version.

here's a link to the page. The download is the first 66 minute thing listed there. I don't know what the rest is.

here's another thing from the same source:
"i have no idea what this is. found on reel to reel. seems to have members of the family on it. put forth for posterity and cultural anthropologists who want to be confused."

sounds like a child talking while people band on toy instruments.

more crazy stuff - "Arranged by Vincent Lozupone, probably in the late 1970s. Recorded on a reel-to-reel using bounceback/echo to create a lot of noisy. Features voices of both Vincent and son Alex Lozupone."

Finally, a link to a page full of similar stuff from the same archives.
