Gaburo, Kenneth – “Tape Play” – [Pogus Productions]

These songs span composer/linguist Gaburo???s work, starting with the relatively pleasant collage of silverware-like plinking and big band manipulation of 1, to the analog synth making steel-drum sounds in 6, to the all-out weirdness of Gaburo chanting at the same time he recites ???This Old Man??? in 10, which starts out clear but deteriorates to a disturbed utterance. 7 offers a fascinating spoken ???poem.??? The liner notes provide a guide to the listening experience, which is not to be missed.
