about

I really enjoyed how easily this piece came together. I was making a lot of little improvised action recordings during this period – like the series of impromptu ‘non-performances’ I made between 1995 and 2001. I made a different series in 1999 that I designated as ‘lint recordings’, which simply involved setting up a portable recording device, making an arrangement of objects, and then doing a sort of ‘object free improvisation’. I used to dare myself to collect some of these odd bits and pieces into an album, but I always decided against it: I figured my output was incomprehensible enough as it was. Also, like a lot of experimental music, recordings of this kind were much more interesting to make than to listen to. On this occasion, I finally found a way to make use of a few excerpts by arranging them in the context of some poached audience laughter. For me, it creates the impression of a scene from one of Jan Švankmajer’s fabulous animated films.

The track name is taken from a fictional book title used in a sketch by Fry & Laurie.
