  • Cassette + Digital Album

    The cassette version of Safety Precautions! Hand dubbed by the artist on reused/recycled Type 1 cassettes. Clear cassette shells with white labels. Various case shapes and configurations as I find them, most with some scuffs and small scratches but no cracks. 5 copies available and I will create more as they continue to sell.
    Includes the Bonus Track, Potential Shock Hazard, which is only available on the cassette release.
    Dual Cover is reversible and either side can face out. The covers were printed at my local library! Libraries are the best!
    What's with those crazy shipping rates to Canada and the Rest of the World? I'm sorry but the USPS does not want to play nice with shipping to you! Unfortunately, that's what it costs to ship an 8 oz. package to you. I can fit 2 cassettes in that 8 oz. so maybe you need one for a friend? No additional cost for shipping the second one. (If you’ve read this far and are still thinking of buying a cassette, I’ll sweeten the deal: I’ll include a cassette copy of my 2003 circuit bending album for free with your cassette purchase. 2 for 1, baby!)

Safety Precautions: Live performance of long-form improvisation on the Ciat-Lonbarde Fourses in the Zi-Hai with electronic and acoustic filters.


The Fourses (for short) is an electronic musical instrument designed by Peter Blasser of Ciat-Lonbarde instruments. I purchased one as a kit and built it in 2006?, making some modifications along the way. I’ve enjoyed playing it for many years, slowly developing some small understanding of how this beautiful and strange instrument works. This past year I had an insight that led me to design and build a 4 channel amplifier system specifically for the Fourses and 4 different speaker and transducer units attached to objects. These act as acoustic filters and are inspired by the ones David Tudor used in his Rainforest series of works. The final element arrived when Josh Rodriquez (crücFX) laid out and made available a circuit board for the Dubernator, another Ciat-Lonbarde device, long out of production and meant for use with the Fourses. It is a two channel resonant filter and is being used on 2 of the 4 amplifier inputs. All tracks are recordings of live performance with no overdubs or edits. Only compression and equalization were added after the recording. The recordings were made with 2 handmade phantom powered condenser microphones and captured on a Zoom H5 recorder.
