Collective Memories of the Cassette Underground

11/13/2018

My hope for this post on EC is to start a collective memory (oral/aural history)
— one that can involve as many folks giving their memories as possible. I realize my memories are fading or failing or are just different of same events as others. And so that maybe if we all chip in our brains we can have a true(r) story of the various cassette networks that have happened and the events surrounding them?  
So as I kind of cleanup/organize my archives — in other words getting crap out of boxes and more visible — I am hoping to post on occasion flyers, concert stuff whatever — and maybe those involved or who saw or remember things can add in their thoughts and memories. So that in the future as maybe more folks write about those/these times - it's not reliant on more prominent people alone - making this one hopes the people's history of the cassette network/underground.

So here are a few first flyers from my archives....

ELECTRONIC COTTAGE is an international magazine where independent artists, musicians, writers and freethinkers share in-depth articles, essays, interviews, tech and gear reviews and tutorials,
and much more.

EC draws inspiration from the Cassette Culture Revolution of the 1980s, 90s and beyond; Mail Art, Small Press and Zines, Dada, Fluxus, Punk Rock, Hacking, Circuit Bending, Anarchy, and Noise.
EC values inclusion, democracy, experimentation, independence and freedom of thought and expression, open-minded exchange, and Community.

​
The Electronic Cottage website is primarily an online magazine for the publication of lengthy and in-depth articles, essays, and interviews.
For those of you who use Facebook I have created an Electronic Cottage Group, which is a casual social gathering place of the EC Community, where EC people can meet, share artwork and news of current projects and releases.
The website and this EC Facebook Group are two separate but connected entities of the greater EC Community.
