"8 Track Magic is...
Oxide decontructivism of popular culture stuck in time.
Montgomery performs music made from all natural artificially processed sounds conjured from the analog decaying 8-Track tape cartridges originally designed for playback in Lear jets.
In 1994 I saw a dilapidated Led Zeppelin IV 8-Track tape caked in mud in a box under a table of cassettes at a yard sale. The cassettes were selling for 10¢ but 8-Track tapes, despite being in terrible condition had a price tag of 25¢. I knew there must be some special going on, but at the time I didn’t know it would be Magic.
I invested 25¢ and when I got home I shoved it in my 8-Track player what came through the speakers was sonic Magic! (http://generatorsoundart.org/GL-02.html.) Since then I have been collecting old beat up 8-Track tapes in the worst condition hoping to be struck again by the same Magic.
I will attempt to extract sonic magic using these gloriously fun, sexy, unstable tapes created for the Space Age."
