  In 1993, a series of "savaged" recordings were made in the wee early-morning hours at CKMS.  They could not have been more primitive, composed of skipping records, squeaky toys, spoken-word improvs and readings by guests, sources recorded in and around the University campus, extended samples from movies and CDs, crinkling Ring-o-Lo bags and whatever else was around.  As well, Sean thoughtfully donated a sampler and a drum machine, which were responsible for the beepy sequences and keyboard lines throughout.
  Some of these experiments were compiled to a 90 minute cassette called "Ernesto," (LupA), which was virtually unlistenable and bone-crushingly dull -- not in a good way.  Attempts to recreate Ernesto have yielded similar results: long, messy, repetitive pieces with no direction whatsoever.
  This Mute is an attempt to give Ernesto another chance, by using the original source materials combined with other unreleased experiments from 1993 -- "Eva and the Rat," "Charles and the Autumn People" (with readings from Ray Bradbury), and a few other things that never really worked.  These pieces have been recorded on the Diabolical LadyMac, and then mixed, chopped-up, edited, and re-savaged to try to tighten them up and make them more interesting.  Nothing new has been added to the mix.
  (The first GREENman experiment ever appears on here: a sped-up, reversed recording of Moxy Fruvous' "King Of Spain," made for airplay because it was being requested 3 or 4 times per show in 1993.)
