In this episode:

Adopted by masked avant-rock multimedia art collective The Residents, mysterious Bavarian composer and music theorist N. Senada, formulated the "Theory of Phonetic Organization", which states "the musician should put the sounds first, building the music up from them rather than developing the music, then working down to the sounds that make it up."

Extracting music from two albums, Intruders (2018), produced by Eric Drew Feldman and The Residents, then their album God In Three Persons (1988), the "Theor " accumulates extraneous sonic debris, with a deliberated juxtaposition of sounds.

Special Guest vocals are from Tiny Tim, from his debut album God Bless Tiny Tim (1968). Tiny Tim was an American singer, ukulele player, and musical archivist. With his astonishing vocal range and vast repertoire of turn-of-the-century Tin Pan Alley songs, he is best remembered for his cover hit Tiptoe Through the Tulips, sung in a falsetto voice.

Next, we meet The Cowsills,an American singing group from Newport, Rhode Island, six siblings noted for performing professionally and singing harmonies at an early age, later with their mother.

When the group expanded to its full family membership by 1967, the six siblings ranged in age from 8 to 19. Joined by their mother, Barbara Cowsill, the squeaky-clean family group image inspired the 1970s television show The Partridge Family.

Additional material is from their own television special, called A Family Thing, in November 1968 on NBC television,
and Playboy After Dark, an American television show hosted by Hugh Hefner!

Special incongruous guest stars include American mezzo-soprano Cathy Berberian from Luciano Berio's Visage (1961),

As a hideous bonus, the "Theory of Phonetic Organization" is applied to the chance encounter of Sigue Sigue Sputnik and The Patsy (1964) voice coaching lessons.

For this episode, Mitamine Lab has cooked a mix with lots of dub gems, recent releases and some field recordings inspired by the works of British painter Michael Kirkham.

"Kirkham probes uncomfortable truths about contemporary life, staging his brand of psychological portraiture amidst dim interiors, still lifes, and scenes of urban malaise. While invested in traditions that skew niche and graphic (in all senses of the term), the experience he creates is closer to the unflappable genericness of Koons, the pathos of Balthus, the medium-specificity of Nicole Eisenman, or, occasionally, the despairing filmic worlds of contemporaries like Gaspar Noe, Andrea Arnold, or the Safdie brothers, than the lineages from which he so readily borrows." – Harkawik
