Gordon Mumma was the engineer-poet of the Sonic Arts Union, the man who built "cybersonic" circuits that listened to performers and answered back. This 7" carries excerpts from two 1975 recordings, Horn and Retrospect, taken from the Slowscan release of the same name, which gives a fair idea of how his live electronics turned acoustic sound into something unstable and alive.
Issued in 1995 by Stomach Ache Records as an unofficial pressing, housed in a clear sleeve with two double-sided cover sheets. One of those small, odd artefacts of nineties underground culture paying its debts to the American experimental tradition.
