Comments

"Music performed by The Grateful Dead, Produced by John Oswald" Track 2.0 is a hidden pre-gap track (to be found by winding back from the first track) Original recordings of the Grateful Dead in performance have been processed using Plunderphonic techniques. Taken from over 100 performances of Dark Star recorded between 1968 and 1993. Built, layered and "folded" to produce one large, new re-composed Dark Star. (a "continuous mix" for each disc). Grayfolded was originally released as a first single disc only available by mailorder. Purchasers of "Transistive axis" were then encouraged to subscribe for the second disc "Mirror Ashes". At the beginning, the set was exclusively for purchasers of the first disc and subscribers of the second one but Grayfolded was afterwards regularly distributed as a two-disc set. John Oswald can be contacted c/o Mystery Lab, Box 7 Station P, Toronto, Canada M5S 2S6. Packaging: standard plastic 2xCD jewel box case, off-black swing-tray, 16 page stapled cover booklet (last page is an 8-page fold-out detailing the exact timeline of where the sections of live recordings come and go). Total times: CD1 - 60:00 CD2 - 46:49
