    The Absolutely Fine Print

    Uphold’s fifth Mute, “For Word Or,” was recorded by Muffy in the Abbxcess Bedroom during July 2000, and was scheduled to air July 29th.  While originally intended as a meditation on language, it got somewhat sidetracked due to time limitations and a damanged left hand.  Hopefully, Tarzan won’t mind.
    Generally speaking, the sources were recorded from VCR and cassette 4-track, then assembled on the Diabolical LadyMac for editing, altering, and mutilation. Track #5 is dedicated to Bernadette, and was recorded during her quick January decline.
     This CD is copyright 2000 DangerMuff Enterproses.  Feel free, however, to mutilate it as much as you like, according to the golden rule: scoff unto others, as you would have them scoff from you.
 

    In early 2000, I finally found out where to get those Hindi movies I loved watching on TV so much.  This sparked an interest in Hindi, part of a general interest in language, and this all in turn sparked "For Word Or," a Mute about alphabets, communication, and ideas.
    Everything became more difficult, however, when I broke a glass, needed stitches, and ended up moping around showing off my bandage to everyone instead of working on the Mute.  As well, there just wasn't enough time...so "Serenade For Outpatients #5" ended up filling the gaps (somewhat applicable in a Gestaltist way, since the most painful thing about a pet's death -- at least for me -- is the inability to communicate with the poor thing).  Both Geri Halliwell and Mike Oldfield ended up on here, along with clips from "The Adventures of Tarzan," "Mr. India," "Suparman" and "Vijay Path" and lots of extended, beat-y moments.
    "I Cannot Be Played On Record Player 1" was inspired by Douglas R. Hofstadter's "Godel, Escher, Bach."
