small cruel party: è vago fior del tempo

The four pieces on this record all date from the late 1980s and predate any officially released material: "Cords" was entirely realized in Chicago, and the others realized, or at least finished, upon arriving in Seattle in 1990. The pieces were originally privately released on cassette in micro-editions of five to seven copies and given to friends. In 2009-2010, Petri Supplies, which had a complete set of those early privately released tapes, rereleased some of that material (including these four pieces) in small-run bootleg cassette editions.
