Notes

Fourth in this series of short-run "Hi-Res Audio" releases, this cassette edition of the entirety of "GRM [Redactions]" was produced in early June, 2020 and comes as a "NRS- Type I Normal Bias - CUSTOM Blank AUDIO CASSETTE C-47 Green Solid - Tabs Out (No Screws)" with full-color printed labels inside a "YELLOW NORELCO CASSETTE BOX" alongside a double-sided full-color printed J-Card with a "Hi-Res Audio Sticker For Sony Walkman A40 A35 A36 A37 A45 A55 A56 A57" affixed to the outside of the Norelco, all housed inside "JAPAN RESEALABLE PLASTIC BAG for CASSETTE TAPE Top Open w/Flap", with the kanji-imprinted strip left intact.These were dubbed (hot) to tape from the original masters in batches of 4 via a Recordex Soundmaster IV here in the studio in Brooklyn, NY, and I couldn't be happier with how the transduction from a stream of 1s and 0s to a proper magnetic field has transformed the material. The artwork uses 4 images looking down on a fellow passenger from the top of the Long Island Ferry randomly distributed across the entire pressing, and there is an image on the inside of the J-card of the St. Denis courtyard in which, at the dead of dawn, I had the idea to combine these particular sounds into the piece in question.
