Thigmotactic
Thigmotactic
“Thigmotactic” continues in Negativland’s decades long collage and cut-up tradition, but while the trademark sound of found audio elements is heard through-out, the cutting up and collage is also in the lyrics, created by combining dream journals, bits of advertisements, found poems, automatic writings, stream of consciousness, old National Geographic articles, and more. The fifteen songs and two instrumentals were written, composed and performed by Negativland’s Mark Hosler, with contributions from the rest of the group, and with well-known San Francisco noisemaker Thomas Dimuzio contributing lots of rather unexpectedly normal sounding instruments, arrangements and production.

richard nixon died today
lying on the grass
extra sharp pencils
it's not a critique
basketball plant
two light bulbs flickering
by truck
jack pastrami (flower bun)
influential you
virginia's trip
steak on a whim
pork in the store
perfect little cookies
kind of grumpy
your skin is gelatin
omnipotent struggle
rancho pancho
