LL, it is just as salty in its downloadable form. It put extra salt in it to make sure it is well-preserved while being downloaded!

The Brady Bunch is a main influence on my aesthetic practices.

    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 the Cause And Effect Cassette Distribution Service and label, and recorded solo as Dog As Master, and in a duo as Viscera.

    From 1989 to 1991 I published six issues of the original Electronic Cottage print magazine.

    In the last 36 years I have recorded, produced and released more than 300 solo audio works, collaborations and compilations.

and much more.

​
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.
