Marsha Fisher sculpts sound like they’re slurping it
through a straw, meaning they take the source material and run it through a
very small space, a little bit at a time, and see how it goes down. Often you
can’t tell what ingredients comprise the sound, it’s all just whipped up into
frequencies that sometimes appear to want to resolve into what they once were
but never can, and there’s never a real clue as to what those sources were. That’s
part of the fun though, wading through the murk of these collages (that’s what
they are) and being overcome by the milkshakey-ness of them as they drip from
ear to shirt, and then you need a napkin or a towel or something to clean it
up. It’s also quite fun to watch an EQ display of this tape, with the static of
the tape fizzing at the bottom of the range and spiking up every time the
source appears. It’s actually kind of mesmerizing to see a visualization of
this material.
Plus, here’s another release where I think there’s
only a single tape copy available. Actual collaged j-card made out of magazines
and recycled cassette.
