about

Fifty years ago this year, Sergeant Pepper was released. On 'For the benefit of Mr. Kite', John Lennon supposedly decided that he wanted to be able to hear "the sound of sawdust" but left before explaining what he meant. In response, engineer Geoff Emerick took about eight bars of steam-organ tape, cut it into little bits with scissors, threw them in the air and spliced them back together randomly.
I have always wanted to do this, and now I have. Only it wasn't steam-organ tapes, it was some of the dialogue from a webcomic radio series I was doing at the time.

This song is titled "The death of a thousand splices, or 'The Authentic Sound of Sawdust'". The tape loop at around 3:00 is edited from the words 'monopoly' and 'bugger'. And yes, I do like Bach. And Keith Emerson.

lyrics

The death of a thousand splices

Before Mom left, she said, "The love of a succubus can only lead thee to heartache"

THERE IS NO VALID REASON THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE ALIVE
