Evil Clown 8000
WMFO, Tufts University, Medford MA
13 June 1996

Mental Notes was a different kind of Radio Show than I have ever experienced as a performer or listener. I would call it a Radio Broadcast Performance (with mad genius Craig Schildhauer using the entire Radio Station as an instrument). When I met Craig he had been doing this for years most every Saturday night at midnight. He would make a single uninterupted mix for the entire length of his program. His show was 2 hours, but he would do it until the next DJ arrived - sometimes for 5 or 6 hours in a row. WMFO had three studios and Craig would use all three of them at the same time. He created loops and tapes in advance, he set up huge analog tape loops with two reel-to-reel decks, he sampled albums of all kinds from the library, he set up his bass and then he ran around between the three studios all night like a crazed fiend. He invited all kinds of different improvising musicians to come and play both as ensembles and as ensembles with Radio Station accompaniment. I was fortunate to participate about 20 times in 1995 and 1996 and I always brought blank DAT tapes with me so I could document the results. This disc is from one of those performances. PEK
