Agog ‎– "Magnetic Phenomena Of All Kinds" (Spagyric) 1987

Agog, was Damian Bisciglia, frequent collaborator with mail art legends Minoy and Zan Hoffman. His tapes are a sound collage of field recordings, random speech samples,and electronics that dart,pitch and yaw in unexpected directions, never taking the same path twice. So don't expect a catchy chorus or hummable melody line,because this is aimed at the mind rather than the body. If you can watch several TV's at once,like the man who fell to Earth,or,if you are a man who fell to Earth, then this is for you.......you weird fucker!

Tracks:

A - Untitled (30:40)
B - Untitled (29:56)

Zan Hoffman/Agog - "Fragment 2" (N D Magazine C-45) 1990

Less a collaboration than a two artist collaboration for now defunct experimental arts magazine N D.
Although, Zan Hoffman and Agog definitely did collaborate on a few recordings under various nom des plumes, this is more of a showcase for each artist,or entity. Both very reliant on the sound collage method of creating their trademark abstract sound vistas, the differences between them both are subtle. Hoffman's approach seems a little more lo-fi and chaotic than Agog's; who does allow more space to appear among the glitchy sound theft flotsam and jetsom than the former.

Tracklist:

A Raw Felt (23:38)
B Untitled (23:25)
