about

[How it happened]
This collaboration album began with an open call for submissions. I posted this idea on May 2nd, 2018 - after the crazy idea popped into my head:

"send in unfinished work, an element, an ambient sound, a weird noise, a startling vocalization, a killer guitar riff, a cool beat, a vaporwave backing track, a free jazz freak out - Whatever ORIGINAL material you might be willing to part with in the spirit of collaboration. Then, our top scientists here at Houdini Mansions will mash and crunch as many of your crazy pieces of disparate music together as we can to create - the very first Houdini Mansions tape release. "

In the end we had over 24 different artists contribute source audio - people who were entirely willing to trust complete total strangers to complete the work in some way!

House of Cake is the result!

-Gray Lee

Sometimes one instrument stands out in a band and here I admire the very creative guitar-work, dissonant, edgy and daring. The whole band creates an energy, which seems to jump out off your speakers. If you love the dissonance of Sonic Youth and the aggressive drive of the Dead Kennedys you should give this a try. Dirk Radloff
