Celebrity Sex Tapez.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret, two little gems, I was lucky enough to come across. Celebrity Sex Tapez are responsible for the two.

An improvised tape manipulation recording by Nick Cabrera & Josh Vance.

This adventure started with an initial dive by Mr. Vance into the dumpster of a local Half-Priced books. The next step was to decide which tapes to use, if not all of them. At any rate, there wasn't much discussion before two tape decks and a radio were hooked up to a mixer, the button "PLAY" was depressed and flickering images of black and white movies start kaleidoscoping into a colorful and wacked out juxtaposition of mutated genres. Incidentally, some of the originial music which was cut-up for this production included 70s & 80s Soul, Rock & Roll, African and Irish folk music and scrambled radio transmission. The originial medium I decided to release this monstrosity as, of course,was and is still a 30 minute cassette. I encourage you to download this if you are a fan of incidental, sample based, magnetic tape manipulation, noise, and/ or "chopped and screwed" characteristics of music...you may find this download an interesting and quite possibly pleasant listening experience.  Artwork by Evita Cortez.
