Trevor Dunn - Flexes For Carietta White

[jules]

Great new idea from Trevor Dunn:

"Here is what you'll get for the steep price along with various excuses, disclaimers, legal mumbo jumbo, hieroglyphs, and/or selling points:

"One exclusive 90 minute cassette tape curated by myself from my personal collection. This mix tape will include one exclusive and short (50 to 120 seconds) improvisation by myself on upright bass. This short piece will be one of an unknown number in a series of "Flexes For Carietta White". The tape will include exclusive cover art--a hand-cut paper collage-- made by myself and I will sign each playlist. My excessive use of the word "exclusive" in this paragraph is aimed at driving home the point that all these components (the playlist, the improvisation and the artwork) are one-of-a-kind. Each tape will be unique in all regards from all others, so you, the buyer, will possess something hand-made that no one else in the world owns.

"No refunds. No requests. No complaints.
Unless your tape is, for some reason, destroyed or unplayable there will be no refunds. I won't be listening to complaints about the price, what is or what is not on the playlist, or the type of cassette (these things are much harder to find than I remember from the '80s). My go-to is Maxell XL-II high bias when it's available. I reserve the right to make a playlist I myself would listen to and find interesting. I reserve the right to make a playlist that includes themes or not and that may mess with you a little bit. I suppose you could say it's a crap shoot on what you get and if you'll like it, but I do aim to make the listening experience enjoyable. You'll likely hear things you've heard before and hopefully things you've never heard before and will be encouraged to research further. Yeah, $100 is a lot for a tape, I get it. However, I've already been told I'm undercharging. You are free to not purchase it as well. Pretty sure you could get 10 six packs of Coors Light for the same price.

"I am finding that it takes me quite some time to complete both the mix and the artwork as I put a lot of effort and thought into both. It takes me much longer than 90 minutes per tape so please be patient with your order. Each purchase will be addressed in order and shipped off within a week of completion, and of course, the timeline depends on how many orders I receive.

"Shipping for domestic orders is included in the fee. Sorry, EU, AUS, SA, UK, CAN, etc. Gotta add a few bucks for overseas not to mention the time it takes to fill out those pesky customs forms."

A friend of mine used to sell unique and exclusive tapes of harshnoise.
With unique and exclusive artworks.

He made like... a little more than a hundred of unique and exclusive tapes.

Sure, it was really really cheaper than Trevor's tapes.
But my friend is not Trevor.

Is it verboten to make a trading circle of the improvs among buyers. I've ordered one (along with some of the other goodies on Trevor's BC). Super curious how different the pieces and mixtape track listings are.

Discogs has a few, with the track listings on each.
