Dog As Master Coffee Spleen & The Barking Dog
originally released on cassette in 1984, C30
Coffee Spleen & The Barking Dog was the second cassette tape release of my solo project Dog As Master. I recorded this album during the time that I lived at 821 North Pennsylvania Street in Indianapolis, Indiana. The music was constructed with a Fostex X-15 four-track cassette recorder. Side One of the Coffee Spleen & The Barking Dog tape is titled "Slimy Stew And Pussy Gruel", a bizarre collage with strange voices, tape manipulations, electronics, disjointed acoustic piano, percussion and screeching noise...a noisy nightmare soundtrack. Side Two is "Slash Gash Hard And Cruel", a 17-minute onslaught of distortion, feedback, and noise created entirely with electric guitar, delay and 4-track. Released on the Cause And Effect label.
