about

This album was made over the course of about 8 months as part of Hal McGee's "Personal Business" project. The concept involved receiving blank business card CD-R's (with some enclosed return addresses) via regular mail from Hal, filling them with a maximum of approximately five minutes of audio you created then sending them to various locations on earth to other participants through standard postal delivery. The project began in the fall of 2021 and ran until mid August 2022.

Each round of mail-outs could have the same sounds for each recipient, or you could opt to make unique sounds for each person who was part of that round (which is what I generally did) Usually these rounds involved two or three discs sent each time. This album is comprised of every piece of sound I made for each letter I deployed.

You can find out out more about Hal McGee and his legendary awesome massssssive archive of sound here:

Austin Rich (also a participant) @ WFMU in New Jersey did a feature program in August 2022 about Hal's project which can be heard here:
