v/a - nohio - together tapes – 7xcass boxset – 30$
A lot has changed in the 4 years since I found the box of medical noise cassettes that would inspire the Nohio tape series. Many of the artists featured no longer live there, some projects no longer exist, and a whole new crop of sickos has clawed up into place. Each volume of the original tapes were released in an extremely limited edition of 30-33 copies and featured one of my favorite Ohio artists on one side and the found med fucked sounds on the other. The project served as a transition from my involvement with Epicene (who the original tapes were co-released with) and living in Ohio to Together and moving to Portland. The box represents a sliver of what was going on in Ohio at the time but is a personal snapshot of the weirdo scene in Ohio circa 2004.
For this set Mike Shiflet has provided a bonus side of heavily concentrated visceral nerve noise not a part of the original series, which serves as a tribute to Ohio friends. Plus the inclusion of my favorite "found medical sound" side with the name Samuel T. Washington enscribed on the original. All boxes feature heavily painted, silkscreened artwork, with all over tape labels and strange silkscreened patches all glued together and clear gunked over. This an edition of 100.
