Campbell's Soup - Cut Up #1 (2008)

A. Purple Haze This Is It Theme from Bugs Bunny Show
B. Walk on the Wild Side Maria
C. This Is It Miserlou

Campbells Soup is comprised of favorite tunes, influences that are more subliminal than conscious. The work references the Cut-Up formulated by Bryon Gysin and William Burroughs in their alteration of the time continuum experiments where by slicing and splicing recordings of 'reality' an alteration of the continuum becomes possible.  Campbells Soup is an attempt at reconfiguring subliminal memory by accessing the ingredients of formative years.
