AVANT GARDE | GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

A Multimedia Puzzle-Story Of An Immortal Being's Struggle To Define And Exert Their Will Upon A Wholly Deterministic And Ambivalent Multiverse, And The Strange Cult Who Loves Them.

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."

I love to create. I never know what I will end up with when I start. Some say this may be a naive way of approaching music - I disagree. Throwing paint at the sonic canvas sets me free. With all of today's technology, the soul of the art has been sanitized with each meticulous mouse-click. This is my adventure! I'm curious as to how far it will take me and who I will meet along the way. 


All new material is in the works for 2011 - A noise/art collage with a beat you can trip to. Heck, I may even sing again. A live performance piece is also in the works to accompany the Butch Cavity II: Electric Boogaloo album found here on Soundcloud! 
Now accepting applications for unpaid internships, coffee-getters, go-fers, costume designer, make-up artist, muse...and guitars. 


Looking for music with a real twisted twist? Butch Cavity has been let loose on a Goth punk screed to recruit other warped souls for a party. His hypnotic throbalicious and quirky bordering on psychotic homespun creations will delight some and scare others. Wabbit Wemix is as poppy dark as you may want but the refrains of "be quiet — I’m hunting wabbit" make for an amusing dada-ist music moment but it does work. I’m lucky enough not to have too many stormy nights but this is what I would play if I did! Brooding lungfuls of emotions wafting through balanced backbeats and otherworldy vocals with quirky visits and seanced moments.
