"Music From My Ear" is by Stewart Treize

------

TD: "Ripping the Turntable Music etc tape while I work. It makes no sense, I think it's haunted. Seems to have different stuff on the b side from when I flipped it over before and has very long mysterious gaps"

SK: "As for the listing on Turntable Music, yes the grey writing is other tracks from other times, but they are in similar style (eg Coin Music is amplified coin spinning on a metal tray, and Music From My Ear is my squeaky ear with a tiny microphone in it. Scary and hilarious, and partly why I am partly deaf.)"

SK: "It's one of my favourite tapes
Although of course I remember trying to record the sound of (for example) a revolving wig, so I appreciate it might not be anybody else's favourite tape"

--

SK: "Listening to Music From My Ear for the first time in years. In case it’s not clear, the sounds are made by my ear. No effects or owt.
I put the tiny mic in my ear to record the sound. I made the sound by holding my nose, closing my nose, and ‘blowing out’ - like you do if you want your ears to pop
Apparently it was audible from several feet away, I tested that around the same time"

TD: "amazing 😃
i'll add that to the description"

SK: "Perforated eardrum"
