The Tape-beatles on UbuWeb

"The Tape-beatles are a collaboration of varying membership that make music and audio art recordings, 'expanded cinema' performances, videos, printed publications, and works in other media. They work under the aegis of Public Works Productions.

"The Tape-beatles began creating works for audio tape in 1987. Their goal at first was to create a form of pop music that made no use of musical instruments, instead relying on tape recording and analog studio techniques as their sole source of sounds. In addition, the Tape-beatles aspired to an egalitarian attitude of artmaking, avoiding the use of 'professional' equipment and milieux, opting instead to make work almost entirely using home stereo equipment."
