Guinea-Pig Fleet
Libertatia Laboratories was a short-lived CDR label, featuring my own work and that of various other noise-makers from the fringes of the Bowling Green, OH scene. Whatever their other merits, the recordings are, for me at least, pleasant reminders of the vibrant experimental current of which they were a part.

Racergreen
eclectic electroacoustic,
found sounds,
naive instrumentation
and interrupted dance music
Sometimes, there’s no why to the music. Something bubbles up, and then something else. racergreen is where the songs go when they’re not about ambient redevelopment or technological risk, or when they don’t rely on the dulcimers or novelty zithers — but racergreen is also where the musical pot keeps boiling, where the new stuff happens and the old stuff gets recycled and recombined.
racergreen is where the fun is.
We Interrupt This Music
Alwato
Voltairine: Rough Mixes
If memory serves correctly, these were recorded with an effects pedal, electric dulcimer and the tape recorder on the stereo behind the counter in my old bookstore, on one of those days when there was little traffic, and then imported to my Rev. B iMac and subjected to some very rudimentary clean-up. I’m sure there was more to it than that, but not much more. They were not intended for wider distribution, but became one of the first releases from Libertatia Laboratories—and, to be honest, I’m still rather fond of their “poetry reading from hell” aesthetic.
