	This is a mix based on the cut-up technique. The "cut-up" method originated by Brion Gysin and William S. Burroughs as a mechanical method of juxtaposition in which Burroughs literally cut up passages of prose by himself and other writers and then pastes them back together at random. Burroughs transcribes taped cutups (several tapes spliced into each other), film cutups (montage), and mixed media experiments (results of combining tapes with television, movies, or actual events). Thus Burroughs's use of cutups develops his juxtaposition technique to its logical conclusion as an experimental prose method, and he also makes use of all contemporary media, expanding his use of popular culture. In this particular piece Burroughs demonstrates and explains the cut up technique in relation to reel to reel audio tape.
