about

"William A. Davison "Plyas Het Giutra" - Acoustic guitar, knives, sticks, etc. recorded live to microcassette, Ossington Space Port, Toronto, April 3, 2006. Disembraining Songs, cat. no. DIS-010" - liner notes accompanying original CD-R.

Yes, "Plyas Het Giutra" was, indeed, recorded on a hand-held microcassette recorder (a.k.a. dictaphone) for the ultimate in low fidelity! Davison's favorite found-in-the-garbage acoustic guitar was amplified via contact microphone taped to the body and then plugged directly into the mic input of the microcassette recorder. Knives, sticks, rusty nails, twine, steel wool, alligator clips, glass, fingers and various other objects were applied to the body and strings of the guitar to make sounds. The recorded material was edited slightly but released more or less "as is" on a small run of CD-Rs on Davison's Disembraining Songs label in 2006. The reissued version for Bandcamp has been cleaned-up and remastered somewhat but retains the grit and noise of the original dictaphone recordings for your listening pleasure. Play loud!
