I recently came across my CD of 100% Genuine<\/a>, an obscure release from Rephlex records<\/a> from 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It contains a series of audio recordings from an unknown sex-line service – a series of fascinating, often hilarious, personal ads revealing a wide range of sexual proclivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ads themselves frequently contain physical descriptions (e.g. “My name is John, I’m 37 years old, I’m 5 foot 8 tall, I have dark hair.”) – I used these as prompts to generate possible identities for the anonymous voices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original recordings were made over twenty years ago and these lonely, sex-hungry people are now much older, or perhaps even deceased. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horny ghosts from a pre-Tinder analogue world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
