Turkey
Makes Me Sleepy celebrated its 10 Year Anniversary on April 26th, 2007
with an all-day improvisational recording session. Before that day,
group members Michael Adams (Mikadams), Charles Rice Goff III, and Eric
Matchett had not all been in a single room at the same time since 2000.
The session took place at the Taped Rugs Productions studio in
Lawrence, Kansas.
Goff edited the audio highlights of the
group’s anniversary marathon into the seven pieces presented here. Some
portions of the recordings were deleted; some of the remaining portions
were spliced together; no sound effects were added. What you have here
is essentially "the big part of the wishbone."
A video
recording camera was placed in a corner of the studio for a brief time
during this session. Goff subsequently played around some with the
resulting video, adding photos, effects, and the in-line audio track,
creating the lo fi video presented at the link below: http://www.archive.org/download/TheBigPartOfTheWishbone/Americabra.mpg
Taped
Rugs Productions has produced twelve Turkey Makes Me Sleepy audio
releases since 1997. Band members Mikadams, C. Goff III, and Eric
Matchett each have a long history of being involved in experimental
audio projects and other artistic endeavors.
