What About-- Electronic Cottage Radio?

2/6/2019

13 Comments

 
​For some time I have been running a free internet radio application called the "Thomas Park Audio Explorer":

http://www.thomasparksolutions3.com/

The intention of the station is to help introduce people to cc-licensed music that they might not have otherwise heard. 

On the station, I play a number of playlists-- say 10-15 of them. The station code randomly selects from these lists all day and all night.

Wouldn't it be cool to collect an .m3u of Electronic Cottage related tracks? I could make a playlist and drop it into the station bin.

Something EC-related would show up, then, periodically on the broadcast.

What I would need would be:

A text file with the file location of each .mp3. They would have to be hosted at the Internet Archive. Something looking like this:

https://archive.org/download/madscientistsofmusic/Episode%201%20-%20RC3.mp3
https://archive.org/download/madscientistsofmusic/EP3%20-%20RC5%20%28fixed%29.mp3
https://archive.org/download/madscientistsofmusic/bonus-copyright.mp3
https://archive.org/download/newting_20170508/newting_20170508.mp3
https://archive.org/download/dna_195_arcane_waves_malfunction/03_-_Arcane_Waves_-_Data_Error_In_Garbage_Processing.mp3
https://archive.org/download/dna_195_arcane_waves_malfunction/06_-_Arcane_Waves_-_Objects_Out_Of_Control.mp3
https://archive.org/download/dna_195_arcane_waves_malfunction/05_-_Arcane_Waves_-_Zoetrope_Malfunction.mp3
https://archive.org/download/dna_195_arcane_waves_malfunction/02_-_Arcane_Waves_-_Aardvark_Malfunction.mp3
https://archive.org/download/dna_195_arcane_waves_malfunction/01_-_Arcane_Waves_-_Tokamak_Power_Failure.mp3

I could easily, then, add the mp3s to a playlist.

Anyone game?

Thanks either way!

Sure! Sounds good. I think I may need to get at least 20 tracks to make this worthwhile, so let's see if we can do that.

There's plenty of Hell Garbage stuff up on archive.org if you do a search for it. Feel free to use any of it (though maybe not the reallllly long tracks though, haha)!

I’ve never put anything on archive.org before. Maybe now is the time to start.

This is a great idea. I often listen to stuff contributors make on E.C. but do not comment. We'll finish our interview soon Thomas. I have some Cmajor stuff for you!

This sounds like a cool idea Thomas. I'm new to this all so apologies for this late reply :-) If you're still interested, I could send you a bunch of links of stuff I've got on archive.

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.

​
From this moment forward the Electronic Cottage website will primarily be 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 will be a casual social gathering place of the EC Community, where EC people can meet, share artwork and news of current projects and releases.
​The EC website will continue as before, and I encourage those of you who do not use Facebook to use the FORUM page here at the EC website to post miscellaneous thoughts and personal updates.
The website and this EC Facebook Group are two separate but connected entities of the greater EC Community.
