Kids On Dad's Birthday 10/3/77

A cassette found in a thrift store of some kids having fun on Dad's birthday. Sometimes the adults get a little irate.

If you like found recordings, The Audio Kitchen is now podcasting! The Audio Kitchen was a show on WFMU that served up an hour of homemade recordings freshly liberated from thrift stores and junk shops, as well as some amateur audio spirited away from the closets and computers of their creators. All podcasts are reruns of the show which aired from 2001-2003.

Ewa Demarczyk

Born in Kraków in 1941, Ewa Demarczyk studied acting and pianio. In 1962 she started her co-operation with Piwnica Pod Baranami, a theatrical and experimental group of composers setting poetry to music. Ewa began performing solo in 1966, bringing her experimental theatre background to songs that ranged from demonic and triumphant to desperate and fragile.

The Peculiar Din From Vincent Bergeron's Cranium

A friend emailed me a link to Vincent Bergeron's music that he found through, of all places, MySpace. This friend has very particular and focused tastes- so I was excited to hear what he had to offer.

Canadian musician Vincent Bergeron's music is a perplexing sonic tapestry of strange sounds- as if a whole orchestra was equipped with record players and they randomly but precisely dropped the needle on various musical phrases. The music tumbles like a dust cloud as Bergeron croons- sounding a bit like Albert Marcoeur. The long compositions are rambling but focused- almost like a meditation on a single theme...a Trout Mask Replica sort of musical cubism.

More songs and sound samples can be found on Bergeron's site. An earlier version of his L'Art du Désarroi release can be found on Archive.org in its entirety.
