We met once in Boston and there are two strange collaborations from these years.Zan Hoffmannoreply@blogger.comBlogger31100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20832325.post-1138898154720869772006-02-02T08:35:00.000-08:002006-02-02T08:35:54.723-08:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6564/194/1024/637.jpg"><img style="CLEAR: all; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6564/194/400/637.jpg" border="0" /></a> The warm-up for my European tour was done on my trip to see <strong>Dave Prescott</strong> on his 40th birthday. I had the first part of my gear that I needed to try out, and unconsciously I created the first of a series of medium-fi recordings all made while I'm away from my studio. It is 'mastered' to a Panasonic portable cassette recorder either through a mic input or in the open air using the built-in microphone.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20832325-113889815472086977?l=zdapre.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Zan Hoffmannoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20832325.post-1137001454719877692006-01-11T09:43:00.000-08:002006-01-11T09:44:14.720-08:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6564/194/1600/047.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6564/194/400/047.jpg" border="0" /></a> In 1986 <strong>Dave Prescott</strong> completed two 90-minute collaborations using sound and sources that I sent him from various parts of my historical archival source tape library. What emerges is <strong>States of Confusion </strong>and <strong>States of Disarray,</strong> a vast sweeping synthesis of electronics with a delightful array of vocals and sounds intermingling and enhancing the creation. Disarray has more synthesis and less vocals and "Confusion" is more of a funky vocally whacked recording.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20832325-113700145471987769?l=zdapre.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Zan Hoffmannoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20832325.post-1137001393259530092006-01-11T09:42:00.000-08:002006-01-11T09:43:13.260-08:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6564/194/1600/048.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6564/194/400/048.jpg" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20832325-113700139325953009?l=zdapre.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Zan Hoffmannoreply@blogger.com0
