In those pre-Buchla Box days, we cobbled together whatever odd
bits of equipment we could beg, borrow, steal and occasionally
buy to coax whatever squeaks and chirps or sequences of noises
we could from their complaining depths.' -- Ramon Sender .
Worldfood is a wild, psychedelic warble & drone of looped,
overlayed tape pieces produced by 'goosing' an ampex tape
player with a computer calibration device. The resulting two
pieces -- 'Worldfood vii (To See With my Eyes)' and
'WorldfoodXii' -- both part of a number of variations in a
series -- make for gorgeous, careening sungazing music. Leave
your glasses behind. Ramon Sender is a legendary figure in the
Bay Area scene -- first paving the way for the San Francisco
Tape Center with Mort Subotnick ( Silver Apples of the Moon )
and Pauline Oliveiros at the dawn of the 1960s where the
stunningly out pieces on this disc happened. In subsequent
years, he played an active role with the San Francisco Diggers
-- the anarchist guerilla street theater group that challenged
the emerging Counterculture --and co-founded the legendary
Morningstar Ranch Commune in Sonoma County. Worldfood is the
first in an ongoing series of archival discs to come from
Ramon Sender 's exceptional vaults.
