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, Jos=E9 Vanden 
Broucke, L'Abb=E9 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.
