Angus MacLise - Recorded Music

Recorded Music

MacLise recorded a vast amount of music that went largely unreleased until 1999. These recordings, produced between the mid-'60s and the late-'70s, consist of tribal trance workouts, spoken word, poetry, Brion Gysin-like tape cut-ups and minimalist droning and electronics, as well as many collaborations with his wife Hetty. In 2008, Hetty MacLise bequeathed a collection of her husband's tapes to the Yale Collection of American Literature.

Selections can be found on:

• The Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda (Siltbreeze, 1999)
• Brain Damage in Oklahoma City (Siltbreeze, 2000)
• The Cloud Doctrine (Sub Rosa, 2002)
• Astral Collapse (Quakebasket, 2003)
• The Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda (DVD, Bastet/Saturnalia, 2006)
