Hand Games

Posted on by

A non-stop forty minute mix of contemporary Native American HANDGAME music, entirely sourced from live cell phone videos posted to YouTube. Usually featuring just a couple of rattling drums and the occasional chanting from the players & audience, this is music that is both minimal & booming, and which is constantly driving forward. Presented here with as little intervention as possible, only the natural breaks in the action & different aural spaces in which the music was recorded provide relief from the beguiling, relentless intensity of the music. Nearly reminiscent of a House mix, this is utterly banging and joyous music that is simply impossible to not get caught up in. Selected & Sequenced by M.Klausman & P.Prezzano. 100% OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS RELEASE WILL BE DONATED TO THE INDIGENOUS ENVIRONMENTAL NETWORK. A link to the original videos from which this mix has been sourced shall be included with each cassette.

Edition of 50 real-time dubbed cassettes on chrome tape featuring risograph printed j cards on French paper
Price is $12 PPD within the US
