An experimental recording group in Seattle, WA started by UW DJs at KCMU Radio in the mid-80s. Yeast Culture did a lot of field recordings around the islands in Puget Sound, and in empty buildings. They inhabited a derelict 1950s apartment building known as Main Plant where shows were held and a shop was set up to sell noise records. Early records were made here. In the late eighties they moved to a downtown warehouse space, continuing the shop and publishing more records and hosting shows. Photography and screen printing and do-it-yourself tactics were used to create record covers and more. They developed a conceptual approach to sound recording, collecting together related field recordings to create produced work. Their sound sources ranged from closely miked natural specimens such as trees and water, to live electric plasma, empty industrial sites and historical military forts. Studio techniques included musique concrete style tape manipulations, custom editing processes, and gear and environments which were designed specifically for each project. The label started by Yeast Culture is Petri Supply.
The 7" comes with a shellac 10" and are packaged in hand-printed sleeves, coming with an eight page 10"x10" handmade booklet, all of which are contained in a black envelope with attached transparency artwork and paint splotch. The recordings on the 7" were made by collaging material from 114 salvaged 10", 78 RPM records. Each of the 114 copies of 'Rena Leicia - The Exposition of Nothing' comes with one of these original 10", 78 RPM records, though they have new labels to keep the original sources mysterious. The engineer (uncredited) was Jack Endino, best known for his production work with Mudhoney, Nirvana, Tad, Soundgarden, L7, Screaming Trees, and Hot Hot Heat, among others.
