Lost Soundtracks from The Wizard of Oz is a collaborative album featuring a group of artists from Chicago known as LSWZ. We all went to school together and at one time or another crossed paths in a dark sound studio.
Gordon Tebo had the idea that maybe there were some ‘keepers’ amidst the countless hours of experimental sound made at school. The possibility that some of these sound projects wouldn’t be heard by anyone outside a very small and select group of people seemed a shame.
There’s a bit of a mad scientist feel to some of the tracks that I find to be thrilling, like maybe they were made in a dark basement or in the woods. Listen for the wonderful world of humor and the diverse sound palette.
Gordon did the curating and the sifting through. Not an easy task and I think we were all pretty impressed with how well the recordings fit together. The project has been in the works for over two years and I’m pleased that it’s found a home at the amazing test tube netlabel.
Thanks!
