Minoysulkstillife

I have one tape that I play for people when they really want to know what Minóy and his screaming insanity are really like and it is so suffocating and unyielding that nobody can sit through a whole side of it. This is Minóyellstillife (its companion piece is Minóykillstillife) and it features multiple layers of Minóy's most famous ranting with extra processing and effects by RoLMo. This has gut wrenching maniacal screaming: "WHAT WILL I DO, WOOLLYBRAIN!", plus what I consider to be a 'greatest hits' of Minóy histrionics.

Minóy\Zannóy-27 @ 2x the Speed of Light

27 @ 2 times the Speed of Fright is reminiscent of the Krynge > Spd Kld Spd Rcr release with its fast-forward propulsion.

Aquabatic Bubble Gum

The Elevation of Anxiety works are my collaborations with Minóy recorded by both of us (sometimes his mix - as in all of the m\z tapes; sometimes mine). These started in 1985 when I mixed together a couple Minóy tapes. The titles with lots of M's and Z's are part of this series which evolved as we sent tapes back and forth, adding more goodies to each other's mix. These also include Aquabatic Bubblegum, Dubzanmex and Zanminóysextra.
Elevation of Anxiety No. 2

Minóy\Zannóy-As the Lumbering Castles Foundation Rumbles

As the Lumbering Castles Foundation Rumbles begins with a soothing sleepy narrative, followed by a zesty vocal piece, a short collaborative piece with Katharsis, a classic Minóy saturated vocal space drone joined by sparse, unnerving alliteration, and ending with a stratospheric noisy and stretched vocal piece.

EoA-50 - The best of the rest of the greatest hits of humanity

EoA 50 is sort of a Zanguts of the EoA label. Fifty tapes showcased by excerpts edited together and dissected like a gruesome disemboweled wild animal.
Elevation o f Anxiety No. 50

Minóy\Zannóy- FFRZ + 27 Bits Of XXVII

One to make your heart beat faster! This beast is a like a mack truck barreling down on you in a dark alley... nowhere to hide!

inverse zanatone > minoy mantra

Inverse Zanatone if all is well - will make you cringe and reach for the volume knob. It's virtually an all acapella tribute (1986) that I made to Minóy in my worship of his woollybrain and horrific voice. Truly heartfelt and completely sincere, you'll wonder how I can still speak after putting my voice through such histrionics.

Minóy\Zannóy-Inverse Zanmintones

The most subtle tape from the 1980's, this work from 1987 with Minoy mixing is the calm in the eye of the storm.
Elevation of Anxiety No. 19

Minóy\Zannóy-Jake Hobo's Fantastic Spacetrip (and what he found there)

Minóy\Zannóy-M(Minôyzanthropy)Or Z15(12)M

mami - the trauma of industrial etiquette

You are not welcome here. If you are here it's not because we said you could come in. This work features Al Margolis and Minoy and if you are intent on relaxing and enjoying a work with these two artists you've come to the wrong place.

mimik - scornful morass

Minóy\Zannóy - adorning dashing adolescen dentists after delapidated apatheteic distress application destroys absolutely

Minóy\Zannóy - caught in the throat of the beast

Caught in the Throat of the Beast is a strange Minóy composition which changes so much, and continually goes in so many different directions that it is difficult to pin a descriptive phrase on it. It can be said that it is not a dense mix: items float freely, they come and go, and none of the sounds linger for any extended periods of time.

Minóy\Zannóy - chicago k-mart call

Minoy\Zannoy > Condoms or Corpses?

Minóy\Zannóy - mr. chances deaf mix for jake hobo

This takes the jake hobo random thing one step farther (and once you do this you can only really do it once before you come back from the brink) where i didn’t even listen to the tape as i was making it. mainly you risk distortion, but it was an anti-ego experiment in no taste. i remember sitting on the floor of the livingroom at drake park apartments. orange carpet, I was facing east. in front of me was a tin pie pan divided into segments that were numbered which i would spin to determine to things.(i believe it was this process that i used for this realese) to my left was a drawer of source tapes from all manner of people. i believe i arrived at which tapes to use by a different method than the pan. (perhaps multi-sided d&d dice? and maybe not)

Featuring Haters [can], Croiners [ny], Mike Jackson [tn], Fenner & Beau Castner [ky], Adam Bohman [uk] Nick [in], Tuf [jp], Gory Armadillos Exacting Chortles [ia], T.Diez [il] as well as Minoy's Crew > Anika & Stewart.

Minóy\Zannóy - double moon nostrils

Minóy\Zannóy Forge a Pan

Spring cleaning in 1997 unearthed some collaborations which had slipped into obscurity. The Forge a Pan recordings were ten years old and needed only a short track to finish the work. It now consists of two pieces, creaky, sometimes creepy, but always changing landscapes. Jack Jordan reports
Murky tones in darkish zones, quietly propelling toward an undefinable destination. A plethora of quietly competing electronics flit and dart about the predominant tones and drones, giving them body and weight. Toward the end, an eerie aggregation of voices pained and sorrowed intrudes against an otherworldly minor-keyed instro/elec backdrop... enter more crazy-quilt vocal samplings and elex to place us in a rear, dimly lit room of a mental asylum...our equilibrium is never regained and there's a cold stop. Some really nice tension here showing a talented use of control and restraint.

Minóy\Zannóy Fractured Lingere Break You Ears

Unacknowledged as a release for twelve years Fractured Lingere Break You Ears was discovered in 2000 during an exhaustive survey of my msater tapes. Knowing I’d uncover discrepancies in my cataloging of them, I went through them documenting non-release b-sides, among other things, and that’s where I dug up this tidy release. Spacy - yet involving, with good flow and variety.

Minóy\Zannóy - Fractured Lounge Array

Fractured Lounge Array was recorded when, after a successive round of punishments from my mother (each one resulting in the loss of a piece of equipment) I was left with a severely decapitated system, but I was still determined to do something and this was it.

Minóy\Zannóy - Kerd One

A follow-up to Why Jake Hobo Ate Whey this work with Minoy harkens from 1987.

Minóy\Zannoy - Loss Of Memory Dub: Sodomy in the Supreme Court Lobby

The Persistence of Memory is a tape that appears before Sodomy in the Supreme Court Lobby. It is brooding and contorted with disheveled collapsing sounds. The latter is a torrentially dismembered version of the former. Lots of radio interruptions and nasty cross edits, shortwave disruption and media disembodiment. It's this classic tape (Sodomy) that Dave Prescott played continually on WZBC; plus it received the classic critical comment in an Option review: "It's tapes like these that make me wonder why people bother." This tape is not everyone's cup of tea, and we're proud of that.

Minóy\Zannóy - monochrome melodrama

A Minóy combination for starters to hear is Monochrome Melodrama with its use of voices, drones, short wave, and undulating synthesis.

Minóy\Zannóy - slthering catapult worms

Adadadadada and Slithering Catapult Worms are from a period in my life when I had very little equipment left and only normal bias tapes to dub on. I take the lowest of production methods to achieve these tapes, yet they have a serious crude feel which enhances their peculiarity.

Minóy\Zannóy - the decline of the american orgasm

Minóy\Zannóy - the holy zuwug

Holy Zuwug is disjointed and noisy unlike any collaboration we've ever done: my homemade noise instruments and experiments filtered through Minóy's disjointed production. This could well be what acupuncture sounds like to your body.

Minóy\Zannóy - the persistance of memory

The Persistence of Memory is a tape that appears before Sodomy in the Supreme Court Lobby. It is brooding and contorted with disheveled collapsing sounds. The latter is a torrentially dismembered version of the former. Lots of radio interruptions and nasty cross edits, shortwave disruption and media disembodiment. It's this classic tape (Sodomy) that Dave Prescott played continually on WZBC; plus it received the classic critical comment in an Option review: "It's tapes like these that make me wonder why people bother." This tape is not everyone's cup of tea, and we're proud of that.

Minóy\Zannóy - Vortacist Haven Caves In

Vortacist Haven Caves In is the only m\z release from 1993. It is a spacy, undulating composition full of odd little surprises

Minoy\Zannoy - Why Jake Hobo Ate Whey

Multiple Minóy - The Sequel w/o A Beginning

A traditional Minóy combination starters to hear is Monochrome Melodrama with its use of voices, drones, short wave, and undulating synthesis. Another work in this style is Multiple Minóy which employs more wit in its construction and treatment than most tapes. These tapes, though odd, are considerably more soothing than many of the above-mentioned releases.

PMP by Z

PMP Minóy sandwiched between two layers of Dave Prescott. Synthesis and madness the unreleased PM tape that nobody asked for!

Round One - Minóy vs Zannoy

The most unnerving tape in my Elevation of Anxiety catalog has to be the Round One - Minóy vs. Zannóy combat which pits a nasty audio letter from Minóy (one that forced me to not write him or listen to any of his tapes for an entire year) with my response, plus some background continuity from Tuf. Jeph Jerman said it was a tape that he really wanted to turn off, but couldn't because it was so compelling. Dave Prescott simply replied "You are a Genius."

RoZaMoMiHoY - Without Horses Knowledge

RoZaMoMiHoY is from the era ('87) and features RoLMo, Minóy and myself. This one is demented and loopy, creating a symphony of cacophony.

Minóy\Zannóy - Stumbling Metaphors Crumbling

Stumbling Metaphors Crumbling is a doomed, crumbling low frequency tape which features the enigmatic vocal only after 15 minutes saying "Snake on the Ladder." Then you're plunged once again into the depths. Spooky and effective.
Cover drawing by Mike Stevens.

Minóy\Zannóy - Subdubminblast

Subdubminblast is Minóy's contribution one of my Sub Sonic compilations. It's followed by a spooky Minóy\Zannóy collaboration.

T.Diezanoise - As the foundation rumbles

T.Diezanoise is a nifty release with demented recordings from Foundation T.Diez in Illinois Minóy drones, recorded in the min 80's while I was in college.
