Lamination from Nicolas

​Beautiful Lamination received in the mail from Athens. Thank you, Nicolas! 

I'll let the EC community try to figure out which side is the front and which side is the back!

This is a reply to a recent EC post by Nicolas Malevitsis in which he described how a leaf had fallen onto the roof of his car, and he went to the nearby xerox shop and asked the friend who runs it to laminate the leaf having in mind to post it to me.

    Gen Ken Montgomery


    I have been making my own homemade experimental music since 1981.

    I was an active participant in the 1980s Cassette Culture scene, and I operated Generations Unlimited with David Prescott and Conrad Schnitzler, and recorded solo as Gen Ken & Equipment, and in a duo with KMZ and Vision of Control.

    From 1989 to 1992 I ran Generator, a gallery, music shop, performance space and hangout for fringe culture and lovers of sound, noise and music and in 1994 I started A.T.M.O.T.W. (Art is Throwing Money Out The Window) which has kept me busy and smiling ever since.

    In the last 36 or so years I have recorded, produced and released and not released too many recordings for me to keep track of, and I’ve performed with too many people to list here (really I’m just too lazy to try to remember them all).

    I also love lamination. I perform Lamination Rituals as Egnekn, The Minister of Lamination in the Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland.

    I’m a fan of haphazard collage and I design covers for LPs, CDs, Cassettes and 8-Tracks using Instant Art and Instant Covers technology. I also love postcards and have been sending them to friends for as long as I can remember using We Clip technology. I have been working on a website called Everybody Loves Postcards since 2009 and expect to have it functional one day soon.

     I am greatly indebted to the pioneer of home-taping—Conrad Schnitzler, who I met by exchanging music through the post, and have been lovingly dedicated to organizing events celebrating his life and work under the name
    CON-Mythology
    ​
    since his passing in 2011.

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.
