This issue comprises one of a regular series of audio cassettes with
the similar name PhonoStatic, forming an integral, though sidestream,
component of the PhotoStatic project.

Description. "Audio Collage." The current issue, as the booklet notes
point out, is a bit of a departure from the previous releases in the
series (which you've yet to hear!) in that silent pauses between the
tracks are not used as a convention to separate the work of one
artist from the next. The editor chose instead to undertake an
"editorial improvisation" with the source material at hand, and make
from it an audio collage, as the title of the tape indicates. Audio
Collage features works by previous PhonoStatic contributors,
including Tim Risher; the then-fledgling Tape-beatles; the prolific,
and decidedly low-tech, X.Y. Zedd (a.k.a. Scott Paul Elledge);
saxophreak Barry Edgar Pilcher (excerpts from his long-form "Mail Art
Love Express" appearing dispersed throughout), and the mysterious
9digit Zip. Visual and verbal artist contributors, doubling here as
audio artist contributors, include Wisconsin's Floating Concrete
Orchestra (Miekal And, Liz Was, and others), John Kennedy a.k.a.
Berndt, word artist Jake Berry, and the Scraptacular Chris Winkler.
Significant contributions are also made by the Mystery Tape
Laboratories of Toronto, the Bordelais group Ensemble Vide, the
Post-Void Radio Theatre from Minneapolis, and others, creating an
international line up of audio artists working in extremely varied
ways. Nonetheless, the collection forms a very listenable and
cohesive whole.

Contributors include. Barry Edgar Pilcher, G. X. Jupitter-Larsen, Son
of Spam, Paragate, Bill Shores, X Y Zedd, John Kennedy, Mechanical
Sterility, The Tape-beatles, Mystery Laboratories, José Vanden
Broucke, L'Abbé Martine Arbiste, Chris Winkler, Floating Concrete
Orchestra, The Post-Void Radio Theater, Bill McMahon, 9digit Zip,
Ensemble Vide, Jake Berry.

Project Overview: The Photostatic Retrograde Archive serves as an
electronic repository for a complete collection of PhotoStatic
Magazine, PhonoStatic Cassettes, Retrofuturism, and Psrf, (as well as
related titles). Issues are posted as PDF files, at more or less
regular intervals, in reverse chronological order to form a
chronological mirror image of the original series. When the first
issue, dating from 1983, is finally posted in several year's time,
then this electronic archive will be complete.
