due soon. Thurston's been sending out dats of guitar music left and right to 'electronic' producers - Boymerang told me he got one. CT Limited edition CD will be packaged in a 'vacuum cleaner bag'. Limited Edition Box Set includes six 12" discs plus booklet and maybe a limited edition Savage Pencil print; it will also feature some tracks that are not on the CD (ie: Scanner, DJ Speedranch, Russell Mills, plus..) & maybe some of the original Thurston Moore pieces. In October of 1997 independent music label Lo Recordings received a DAT tape containing 30 different one-minute guitar pieces by New York arthouse guitarist Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. Each piece was copied onto individual one-minute tapes and then packaged in a custom designed vacuum cleaner bag.In order to fully exploit the potential for musical/visual cross-fertilization Lo Recordings teamed up with leading contemporary art venture Commercial Too. One hundred bags were sent out to a selection of the most creative visual artists and musicians, inviting them to create a brand new work utilising the original piece as a starting point. The original idea was to produce a CD compilation of music together with an exhibition of visual work. However, so overwhelming was the response that the project has expanded to include a web-site, various off-shoot events and a second CD with accompanying CD-Rom to be released in the new year. track listing: 1.
