    Original release format: cassette

    Repetophile is an improvisational and participatory audio collage and noise group made up of whoever was around or available at the time it seemed it was good to get together. With collaborations based around repetition (often beyond the realm of annoyance), freeform audio and noises woven throughout, usually made with the cheapest of equipment, often with thematic content, Repetophile sometimes happened in a “studio” environment, but also sometimes happened more famously live in public, as arts or music festival participants and sometimes opening for real bands (even opening for the band FEAR). Yes, a run-on sentence is Repetophile approved!

    The Durability of the Human Ear
    An exercise in repeating things culled from live recordings from two performances. Audio collage at it’s finest. And yes, beer did play a role.
    Fun note: the original track listing was not actually representative of the tracks on the cassette itself. For this Wifflefist@30 effort, the track titles have been updated to reflect both the content and arrangement on the release.
