HITCHCOCK, STEVE - Sheet Tape Registered Black 1978/1979

"Steve Hitchcock (currently known as Ferrara Brain Pan) began experimenting with music and art in early 1977 as a freshman-year university student in San Diego, where he edited and published five issues of a Neo-Dada mail art zine called Cabaret Voltaire". While active in mail art, he corresponded with Genesis P-Orridge and Cosey Funni Tutti of COUM Transmissions and Throbbing Gristle and thereby became involved with the early Industrial music movement.\r\nDuring the years 1977-79, he created these experimental solo recordings using\r\nelements including shortwave radio, television, turntable, metal percussion and found sounds. These tracks can be classified with confidence as early Industrial Music (with elements of humor that might invite comparisons to H.N.A.S. or Nurse With Wound). The artist was heavily influenced and inspired by the music he listened to as an American teenager during the 1970s, such as free improvisation, Krautrock, classical avant-garde, electronic music, early punk and noise. It was in San Diego during the time of these recordings that Steve Hitchcock got into a long-lasting friendship with Boyd Rice and Robert Turman. In 1977 Boyd and Steve recorded and performed on a few occasions as a duo, and when Robert got involved the project adopted the name of Moving Targets. Steve left the group soon afterwards, and Boyd and Robert moved to San Francisco where the twosome issued the very first NON recordings. Prior to Moving Targets, Boyd Rice and Steve Hitchcock collaborated on a cassette of experimental sounds entitled This Priceless Recording which was included in an international Audio Art exhibition at a Gallery in Switzerland. Extracts from this tape and the Pre-NONProject can be heard on the Boyd Rice/NON 5-LP set. This LP is a Must-Have for every serious fan and listener of early Industrial music.

After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.

This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we’ve reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We’ll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).

Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently “sold out” items are likely to resurface.

Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we’ll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.

Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we’ve been surprised by what’s been turning up, and there’s much more to come.
