Description. "Unfinished Symphonies."  
This is 
the third issue to continue the layout 
experiment 
begun some months earlier, and it remains 
faithful to that impulse. It consolidates 
the 
series' tendency to treat submissions as 
material 
for graphic improvisation by the editor. 
We asked 
contributors to offer their unfinished 
works, and 
they did. The first dozen pages of the 
issue 
consist of our compositions using these 
contributions as source material, the 
results 
appearing on the top two-thirds of each 
page, 
while the bottom third displays 
Retrofuturism no. 
3, edited by the Tape-beatles.

Contributors include. Ll. Dunn, Pete 
Spence, The 
Tape-beatles, Arturo Giuseppe Fallico, 
Steve 
Harp, Dave Coulter, Steve Perkins, Mark

Description. "Rejects Supplement." The 
idea of a 
"Rejects Supplement" was the direct result 
of our 
knee-jerk egalitarianism, seeking to 
counteract 
the notion that there was some was an 
individual 
taste, with all the shortcomings that this 
implies, necessarily limiting the range of 
works 
included in the publication. Our attempt 
to 
remedy this comprises this issue. A guest 
editor 
(visual poet Crag Hill) was invited to 
review the 
works rejected by Lloyd Dunn (the usual 
editor) 
in an effort to present some of the (also) 
good 
works that had inevitably been overlooked 
due to 
differences in taste, or possibly for the 
more 
banal reason of lack of space.

Contributors include. Crag Hill, Yrizarry, 
Elizabeth Was, Miekal And, d'Zoid, Tom 
Hibbard, 
John R[ininger], Serse Luigetti, Jack 
Moskovitz, 
Joel Lipman, Carol Stetser, t. Winter-
Damon, 
Richard C., Luc Fierens, Steve Perkins, 
Chris 
Winkler, Jorge Caraballo, Mark Pawson.

Description. "Concatenations." This 
present 
compilation requested submissions which 
were 
composed of nothing but concatenations. It 
is 
fair to say that the artists who submitted 
achieved varying levels of concord with 
this 
request. Three early works by The Tape-
beatles 
are perhaps most faithful to the concept, 
which 
should not be surprising, considering who 
put 
together the comp. Many more excellent 
tracks 
accompany these, and the sequence of 
tracks is 
arranged for maximum listenability.

Contributors include. No Idea, Bob Gregory 
and 
Jason Gibbs, Harry Polkinhorn, X.Y. Zedd, 
Face in 
the Crowd, MoriArty, The Tape-beatles, 
Fredrick 
Lonberg-Holm.



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.
