"Do You Think It's An Accident?"
This collective of artists in Iowa City turn plagiarism into an art form. Their music is comprised entirely of found sounds and sound bytes. In their own words:"We got together in 1986 to pursue what we thought of as a new form of audio production: using the principle that anything that could be put on tape had potential musical usefulness. We felt that audio tape was a medium that had not been thoroughly explored artistically, and we wanted to do that in a sort of pop music context. We were, for the most part visual artists dabbling in what was for us a new medium. We wanted a fresh, lively sound and we wanted real content that everyone could relate to."
