40 x 40

007 > 40 x 40 The seventh tape "40 x 40" took longer than any other tape in my catalog to make. I commissioned everyone I was writing at the time to send me 40 second pieces to work with and I proceeded to make forty 40 second compositions figuring that the time restriction allowed for many small ideas to be presented that may not stand on their own for longer duration.
When I visited Hal McGee for the first time in November 1984 [Indianapolis, Indiana] he suggested I do a release with a series of short pieces. This work can be seen as a template of a world of releases to come. That's why I reissued this work on archive.org.
