Thomas Park
"An Artist's Toolkit"


Although multi-disciplinary artist Thomas Park has largely retired, at least as the musical act mystified, throughout the years he has collected hundreds of gigabytes of resources that are free for artists of any kind (and non-artists) to use and enjoy.

Feel free to visit “An Artist’s Toolkit”-- save the pdf, use the links, share:
https://ia601504.us.archive.org/27/items/ThomasParkBenchmarkHub/21_An_Artists_Toolkit.pdf

Thomas hopes that his efforts can help to enhance the creativity of other artists and creative folk in the larger world community.

Editor's note: This bulletin board announcement is Thomas Park's first post at Electronic Cottage. He has also created a Personal Page, which you can visit here.

Lord Litter: General shout to the EC community

4/28/2018

3 Comments

 
EC brought something back that I thought was lost.

I really read most of the words here ... listen to most of the sounds Time does unfortunately not allow to get in touch with all that interests me .. too much.

But to get to know (via Ditlev Buster's personal page) that there is the *barely teenager* Jonas Torstensen who started his journey into sound with a Spike Jones LP (!!!) then established a label and now started producing radioshows is simply ... too good to know. I listened to the show - my danish is  bit rusty - but I hear the sound and it's so well chosen and wonderful! I fact it's absolutely fascinating ...

Proves it will never stop! The underground is alive and well and I can read about and listen to here at EC...many thanks to you all!

Taped Rugs Presents TREASURES FOR DEEP DIVERS

4/28/2018

5 Comments

 
EC Editor Hal McGee reporting:

This morning at about 2:00, while I was working on the Electronic Cottage website, I listened to the cassette version of Tapes 1970's/1980's: Treasures For Deep Divers, It is a pleasing mix of rare and previously un-released tracks by Charles Rice Goff III of tape collage, Frippertronic-style tape loop forays, improvisational bits, and cover versions. The two covers, "You're Sixteen" and "When I'm Sixty-Four" were recorded by Goff in 1973, when he was about 14! The other more experimental, more electronic tracks all date from 1979 to 1981.

The Long Play - Episode 4 - Time Bomb

4/28/2018

6 Comments

 
Hello all! The fourth episode of my 2018 radio art series "The Long Play" is available now on Mixcloud.
"The Long Play" is an intense, long-form examination of distressed vinyl, specifically a single LP from my collection of found records. Through extreme speed change, time-shifting, compression and EQ, each track of the LP has been stretched out to approximately 30 minutes, virtually erasing, in some cases, the original musical content, and taking on the character of a "field recording", a strange and surreal psychogeography of a place that does not exist. One track of the 12 track LP will be released per month over the course of 2018.

Walls Of Genius Raw Sewage Volume III

4/26/2018

0 Comments

 
EC Editor Hal McGee reports:
​Head Moron Evan Cantor recently sent to me a CDR version of Raw Sewage Volume III, a collection of Walls Of Genius rarities from the early days of the band. For the first three years of the band's existence they recorded and performed under different names for various sessions and live shows. In these 13 tracks, all recorded in 1983, we hear Cantor, Little Fyodor, and Ed Fowler tear into cover versions of Alice Cooper, Bob Dylan, Moussorgsky, The Beatles, and Gram Parsons, the infamous "Dead Puppies" by Ogden Edsl, plus wacked-out originals, and just general improvisational madness! You'll hear songs by Spazz Attack, Excitable Dogs, The have Mersey Beats, Good Enough For A Hell-hole, Religious Services, Big Man On Campus, The Dirt Clods, Joe Colorado, and Johnny Pureheart.
