About www.Tape-Mag.com

 

Creativity and Innovation is deeply rooted in human mankind.

It's the fundament for development, progress and New ideas.

Almost everyone has this potential but the usage and fullfilment and exposure has always been very restricted to a very few that received the entry-card and access to the so called major-industry defining New standards.

Without the necessary tools of an industry and its value-chain (e.g. mass-media-marketing, production- and publishing-units) it was almost impossible in pre-internet-times to get your form of art (no matter if in written or in audio-form) spread around the globe.

This changed with the option of xeroxed copy machines and self-recordable tape-recorders and the establishing of global networks and communities of people with similar spirits, ideas and thinking and the will to Do-It-Yourself!

This website is an archive/database for those 20th Century artists and people, that exposed their own creativity in a non-commercial DIY-Way.

Does it has any relevance and will it stand the test of time?

Maybe not even 10% of the releases or publications itself. But the movement of "Do-It-Yourself" and the "rebellion" against the major-Industry and its value-chain

Enjoy

Tape-Mag.com is a Non-Profit Online-Archive & Information-Database for Audio-Tape-Culture (Cassettes/Tapes/Reels) and 20th Century Art- & Music-related Small-Press Publications / Magazine-Culture.

Here you are able to browse and research thousands of releases, find further information about the Artists, the Organisations, Press & Label-People behind the scene and/or the published Small Print / Magazines, Information-sheets and Artists-Manifests that all defined a very exciting culture and era. Most of the releases listed here were only released in very limited amount and are hard to find these days but they had without any doubt their important role in the development of contemporary audio & sound-art and music-history. These protagonists of a DIY (Do-It-Yourself)-Culture-Movement in which everybody can be an artist, label, distributor and press-editor or organisation deserves a comprehensive overview in a broader context with all its connections and a framework.
