"the microphone is 3 electric guitars" is a piano from the year 1901 recorded using 3 electric guitars as a microphone. it's called "the microphone is 3 electric guitars" because the microphone is 3 electric guitars. the signal from the microphone that is 3 electric guitars, is then forced through a high-voltage gain-stacked potato; therefore, the microphone is also a potato. "the microphone is 3 electric guitars" is less a formal musician or band and more an artistic concept - what if instruments themselves become a microphone in their own right? in doing so, the object which releases vibrational energy at tuned frequencies externally now collects that energy internally instead. what if everything that resonates becomes a medium through which the intangible vibrations within time are preserved? in doing so, the tonal becomes a vehicle for the nagual to manifest... and of course, the addition of a high-voltage potato adds a bit of absurdist fun into the mix too. This album is the cassette tape edition of "the microphone is 3 electric guitars" albums UNIT 00 and UNIT 01. Physical tapes produced by National Audio Company (NAC) using Type I tape.
