From: Hannu Haahti    hi again!
    the holidays are over and time to get back to business...
    out now:
    Robert Horton: Washed Out Headspace CDR (LTJ-40)

Released 16.8.2005, "free jazz haunted drone", edition of 100 copies, 
features an insert.

"I got off the sight seeing bus near the ruins to the church of anthrax. I 
thought I heard a pounding piano and a repeating organ riff but it was only 
the wind. I listened to it blow for a while. Hannu asked me for some kind of 
description of the music on this cdr. Shit, I don't know. I woke up one 
night recently and scribbled "free jazz haunted drone" on the cover of the 
latest Wire. When I woke that morning, it seemed like a good description. 
The collection got its name from Brad Rose, who seems to be quite poetic. I 
also took him literally and threw some broken binaural microphones into the 
bathtub to record some feedback from underwater, thus washed out headspace. 
Misty Leader was the name of a horse running at the track in Tacoma, 
Washington. Wes McIntosh, who is into the horses, found me the name in the 
paper. He's my nephew and is 16 years old and open minded enough to join me 
with his sax in the backyard for a drone-a drone with his weird uncle 
playing guitar with a vibrator with a bobby pin duck-taped to it."
