7.31.13: Hal McGee Presents The Museum Of Microcassette Art
micro
Veteran noise weirdo, and overseer at Hal Tapes, Hal McGee is no stranger to the microcassettes. Over the years he has released solo cassettes of field recordings from the little guys and has done several microcassette compilations, complete with itty-bitty jcards.

His latest project is The Museum of Microcassette Art. Getting involved is as easy as this. You email Hal, he sends you two 30 minute micorcassettes. You record anything your little heart desires, decorate the tape and case, and then send it back to him. That’s it. The extra micro is yours to do with as you wish. Make another, bury it, eat it. Your call.

Hal will archive all of the tapes online and display them in his home, which will become a makeshift Museum Of Microcassette Art. I’d reckon it will be the largest museum dedicated to the smallest audio format, possibly in the universe. Or at least Florida. And just think, when he’s dead museums around the world can fight over ownership of our shitty, lowest-fi possible recordings! It’s a dream come true.
