noise-arch radio provides a continuous audio stream of shuffled items
in the noise-arch archive
of cassette tapes.
There are 384 items with audio in the collection. Many of the cassettes are 60 or 90 minutes.
The collection is described as this:
This collection is a compilation of underground, independently released cassette tapes from the days when the audio cassette was the standard method of music sharing... generally the mid-eighties through early-nineties. The material represented includes tape experimentation, industrial, avant-garde, indy, rock, diy, subvertainment and auto-hypnotic materials. Much of this material defies category, and has therefore not been given one.
The bulk of the tapes in this library were donated to the project by former CKLN FM radio host Myke Dyer in August of 2009. The original NOISE-ARCH site was hosted and maintained by Graham Stewart and Mark Lougheed.
