Don't know what any of today's cassettes are -- PLEASE HELP ME I.D. 'EM!

A disclaimer for all you sticklers out there: I do have *some* idea what's on the "Home Taper Sampler" cassette, of course, but I'm not sure who some of the artists are, given that only last names appear, and I don't know any of the track titles.

Nah: they are collectively known as AAC, which is good enough for me. (Heya, NGH!)

Unless, I guess, the improv took place at somewhere called the AAC ... or at an event sponsored by an organization called the AAC.

Logging in! So, are there 4 tapes in total you will be playing?

Yep -- though I'll only have time to play part of the fourth (the orangey one in the upper left).

Thanks for clarifying! But damn… This makes me really want to do some detective work.

I'd still be very gladly listening even if this repetitive sound goes on throughout the rest of your show. Which one of the 4 tapes in the image is this?

It's the one on (your) upper right.....

The label was glued on upside down, but right way up it's a pic of an ivy-covered building.

Ah, I see that's what you meant by Leafy label tape, I first thought they might have been magnolia flowers.

"Frenetic destruction" -- that phrase gets repeated quite a bit. Another clue for all you sleuths.....

Actually, I think the phrase "frenetic destruction" slowly morphs into "phonetic structure." Or something ... maybe....

epizootics:

Looking at the playlist, I'd wager a guess that Klee's given name is Mark. He made some music that's found on a few choice taper comps and also did some interesting art, a piece of which was a cover of Unsound.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:54pm
I am the Upsetter:

"frenetic instruction"
Avatar ♥ 1:56pm
Tony Coulter:

@ I am the Upsetter: It seems to morph. The first time it sounded like "destruction" But then again, maybe I'm hallucinating!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:58pm
I am the Upsetter:

Hard to say. Enjoying this show.
Avatar ♥ 1:59pm
Tony Coulter:

Hey, epizootics!! Thanks for the tip -- that sounds like a good guess. I'll add "Mark" to the playlist.
Avatar ♥ 2:09pm
Tony Coulter:

Late-breaking news: Someone very much in a position to make a good guess (he believes he once owned the tape) just now suggested (on FB) that the "Leafy Label" cassette is John Oswald. I must admit it doesn't sound like Oswald to me, but I will investigate further.
Avatar ♥ 2:12pm
Tony Coulter:

I should add that he was reacting to my photos of the labels, not to the sound of the tape.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:20pm
Webhamster Henry:

Oswald was never a frenetic destructor!
Avatar ♥ 2:27pm
Tony Coulter:

Just remembered that I have at least one more mystery tape. Oh well -- it (they) will have to wait for a future show.

This book teaches you every step, including a proven meal plan for burning fat, farting like a demon, and dropping your weight. This is a book of action. And farting. It doesn't just tell you to try harder. It tells you to fart harder. Like a hyena. Life rewards those who take matters into their own hands. And their own farts.

(I may have changed a few things there.)

I asked John about that mysterious tape he didn't recognize it as his. He'd often drop by and give me one of this tapes. They were all documented by him, not sure if that is still up on the web, but its not him. I always thought I would remember but you get old...

Mark Klee (pronounced with a long e) was a musician, visual artist, and monologuist. A ton of his radio monologues can be found here:

Eric Feinstein:

AAC stands for Allentown Arts Center. This session was recorded late at night after carrying a piano up a flight of stairs to get it up to the 2nd floor where the theater was. I recorded it on something portable, I think my JVC cassette deck that was part of a modular boombox. I think I used a cheap radio shack Mic. I later overdubbed some ethereal noises I made using two tape decks. The AAC was a community arts center that many local musicians and performers used in the 80's. It was a mecca for improv and was the space that Improvco used for many years. Sun Ra, Firesign Theater and many others performed there.
