Fly liner notes

Yoko Ono's note on Joe Jones Tone Deaf Music Co.
i was always fascinated by the idea of making special instruments for special emotions--instuments that lead us to emotions arrived by their own motions rather than by our control. with those instuments, i wanted to explore emotions and vibrations which have not been explored as yet in music.
i thought of building a house on the hill which makes different sounds on a windy day by the wind that goes through different windows, doors and holes (re: grapefruit paperback edition)
then i've met joe jones who's been making such instruments for 10 years almost unoticed [sic]. joe built me 8 new instruments specially for this album which can play by themselves with minimum manipulation. (turning switches only)
