"A vehicle of mercy sent out into the wasteland of academic modern music" - ramon sender

Here we have a gem for fans of early electronic music, sound art, & fluxus antics. Desert Ambulance is another dip into the playfully enigmatic tom foolery of senor Sender following last year's acclaimed droner Worldfood.

Kore' (1962, dedicated to his daughter Xaverie, 1955-1989) is another classic unearthing of squiggly & eerie tape manipulation cut in the small attic studio Ramon put together at the Tape Music Center in 1962. Side B is the long anticipated release of his best known work - 1964's Desert Ambulance - composed for Pauline Oliveiros.

Strictly limited edition vinyl only release w/ hand pasted covers boasting a still from Tony Martin's visual abstract projections from the Desert Ambulance performance.
