Audioconfusion

Originally from Pennsylvania, Jalipaz Nelson settled in Arizona at the premature culmination of a road trip when he was hindered from crossing the California border due to ferret regulations.[4] In 1995, Nelson attended an introductory recording program in Ohio prior to starting Audioconfusion in 1996. In 2004, he began The Audioconfusion Manifesto. In 2006, he constructed a new studio which measures 1000 ft².[3] He later partnered with Dan Somers, an early department head of Radio Phoenix.[5]

The Audioconfusion Manifesto was an independent record label and musical collective (the titular manifesto was non-existent). Bands in the Phoenix scene organized around recording at the newly constructed Audioconfusion studio. Participating bands included AJJ, Peachcake, and Asleep in the Sea.[6] The first studio album by AJJ, Candy Cigarettes & Cap Guns, was originally released by The Audioconfusion Manifesto and recorded at Audioconfusion,[7] prior to being re-released on Asian Man Records. In 2010, a similar collective and label outfit called Black Cactus Records was founded.[8][9] Both Nelson and Somers were founding members.[10]
