Inspired by a scene in the PBS Frontline documentary “The Lost American” describing disaster relief specialist Fred Cuny’s participation as a pilot in relief efforts to Biafra in the 1969 Nigerian Civil War, Gaizse Music composed, recorded, and mixed “My Fucshia Flip-Flops” in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during autumn 1997.  Unavailable as a stand alone work, until now, this song was originally intended to be part of a much larger sound piece “My Fucshia Flip-Flops://Ballad of Flapcast,” originally released in 1998 on the My Fucshia Flip-Flops Single and which will appear on Gaizse Music’s forthcoming release, Tales of The Banished & Elite.  “My Fucshia Flip-Flops” includes guitar and sampling by Kerry d’Noit and vocals and sampling by Liam d’Noit.

From Philadelphia, in spring 2001, Kerry d’Noit quietly mailed a parcel to Liam d’Noit in Brooklyn.  In addition to a small Peruvian doll wearing a yellow knit cap and a $100 bill play money cape, the package included a MiniDisc entitled Pecan Yo!, which contained thirty-three audio tracks composed, recorded, and mixed by Kerry.  Among these were twenty completed Encodings for inclusion on Cris Tobal’s Encodings, Vol. 1 (forthcoming) and twelve sketches, of various lengths and states of completion, for Liam to build upon in the creation of additional songs and larger sound pieces.  Track 31, labeled on the track list as “? Happy – Was For Chris Song (Yes I Did),” was an instrumental song composed, programmed, recorded, and mixed by Kerry d’Noit.  The previously unavailable version included here, entitled “Happy (Instrumental Remix),” was extended and remixed  by Liam d’Noit to accommodate lyrics he wrote for a yet to be competed final version of the song.

Gaizse Music recorded hours of musical and sound source material during many home studio and field recording sessions from August-December 1997 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The November 9th “Golden River” recording session included Kerry d’Noit on guitar and Liam d’Noit on drums and was intended to create musical source material for a much larger sound piece.  This raw, live DAT recording (Take 22 from that session) serves as the base track for the song poem “Golden River” included in the larger sound piece “My Fucshia Flip-Flops://Ballad of Flapcast,” which Gaizse Music originally released in 1998 on the My Fucshia Flip-Flops Single and which will appear on Gaizse Music’s forthcoming release, Tales of The Banished & Elite.
