"Back in the late ’80s, Melbourne’s Andrew Curtis and Philip Samartzis collaborated in the aurally volatile project simply called Gum. With little expertise or training, the two gathered up what objects they were familiar with, in particular thrift store turntables and soiled records. Eschewing their original attraction to the giants of Industrial Culture, Gum quickly developed an aesthetic privileging the caustic rupture of skipping records and smoldering surface noise, predating the current avant-turntablist aficionados like Philip Jeck, Janek Schaefer, and Otomo Yoshihide."This tape features collaboration w/John Murphy on one track and was released in a box with lots of inserts by the label Information Systems. the b-side is a recording from the original Mapleson Cylinders from the early 1900's. which would most likely make this an unofficial split release; those Gum guys probably just yoinked it and decided for (the by then long deceased) Lionel Mapleson that a split would be like, totally gnarly to the max. so then that would make this half a bootleg.
