about

Pioneer Grain (6:36)
We begin with a selection from the last years of Uncle Hassell's sound experiments. He bought several cassette decks from a radio station that had gone bankrupt and he set them up on shelves in the garage. Each cassette machine had a tape with a long synth drone he had recorded earlier; the machines were run to a Peavey mixer, which fed a master reel-to-reel deck. The cassettes were not in sync, and they all contained at least 30 minutes of sound. Hassell would just start them rolling, then slowly bring them up in the mixer until he had created a mix he liked.
Pioneer Grain is a grain elevator that has stood beside US Highway 165 on the Louisiana-Arkansas border, about 18 miles from Mer Rouge, for decades. It dominates the flat farmlands that spread for miles around.
