Quote
In this first audio-essay recorded for Institute of Paraphilia Studies, C.A.S. files a series of sound works and artworks inspired by the once child-star turned-to-junkie Dana Plato, known to the most as Kimberly Drummond of "Different strokes" fame. Miss Plato became a different kind of cult figure afterher death, spawning myths involving alleged involvement in porn-flicks. Furthermore, this work focuses on the expanded version of Anne Frank’s “Diary of a young girl”.
Sound wise, this first tape is a collection of samples, shrieking vocals, feedbacks on a background of compressed dirges.
