PhonoStatic Cassettes fue un sello estadounidense que editó compulsivamente material de electrónica experimental procedente de diferentes artistas sonoros y grupos también de los USA (LLOYD DUNN, PAUL NEFF, THE HATERS, MINOY, TIM RISHER, THE TAPE BEATLES, SON OF SPAM) y un larguísimo etcétera de grandes personajes de la experimentación sonora, el spoken word, la electrónica abstracta, el arte sonoro en general. Hay muy poca información sobre este sello, pero tirando de ciertos hilos he llegado a la web de THE NOISE-ARCH ARCHIVE, donde se concentra una compilación de cintas de cassette de sonido underground editadas en la época de oro de las cintas y del mail-art: los años 80. Más información al respecto aquí. La verdad es que no he escuchado la totalidad de las 10 cintas que os ofrezco en el día de hoy, pero sí he escuchado unas cuantas y os puedo decir que es auténtica ambrosía sonora, un placer para las neuronas en estos días de cautiverio. Como no sabemos cuánto durará esta situación, es posible que me dé tiempo a terminarlas todas, pero espero no hacerlo solo, sino en vuestra compañía.
