>The Tape-beatles, Public Works, PhonoStatic Cassettes
>
>UbuWeb announces the launch of the Public Works archive, consisting of digitial transfers
>of dozens of cassettes, LPs, and CDs into MP3s. The Tape-beatles are a collaboration of
>varying membership that make music and audio art recordings, "expanded cinema"
>performances, videos, printed publications, and works in other media. They work under the
>aegis of Public Works Productions. PhotoStatic was a magazine, a periodical series of
>printed works, that focused on xerography (photocopy) as a creative medium. Founded in
>1983, the title continued in some form until as late as 1998. A companion publication on
>audio cassette was dubbed PhonoStatic, with the inaugural issue appearing in 1984. In
>all, ten cassette issues were released at roughly six-month intervals, culminating with
>the "Audio Collage" cassette in 1989. The complete PhonoStatic cassette archive is
>available on UbuWeb.

>Live To Air: Artist's Sound Works (1982)
>
>"Live to Air" comprises an international compilation of artists' sound works. Forty-five
>artists were invited to make a work for the context of Audio Arts Magazine with an
>approximate duration of five minutes. Originally produced on three Dolby cassettes, this
>out-of-print compilation includes artists such as Dan Graham, Vito Acconci, Barbara Ess,
>Art & Language, Lawrence Weiner, Jack Goldstein, Dieter Roth, Tom Marioni, Les Levine and
>Marina Abramovic and many others. Includes scans of original liner notes and artwork.
>
>
>Yves Klein "Selected Writings, 1928-1962"
>
>Originally published by the Tate Gallery in 1974, this collection of aphorisms, stories
>and photographs documents the trajectory of a lifetime's worth of thought from the great
>French conceptual artist. From the introduction: "Klein's work lends itself very well to
>this mode of presentation. Although immensely varied in its means it seems to divide into
>sections naturally and with unusual clarity as if it were the chapters of a book, each
>chapter pressing home one particular point. This characteristic does not, of course, rob
>Klein's art of subtlety, mystery or ambiguity-quite the reverse; it is perhaps the result
>of his trenchant, often theatrical or ritualistic modes of _expression_. Certain of his
>activities have, therefore, a quality which makes them at once memorable, mythical and
>self-defining. At the same time they are all concerned with a single constellation of
>ideas."
>
>
>Andreas Ammer: Selection of Hörspiele, 1993-1999.
>
>Originally produced for German radio (Westdeutscher Rundfunk, Bayerischer Rundfunk,
>WDR3). Includes two collaborations with FM Einheit: Radio Inferno (1993) and Crashing
>Aeorplanes and three collaborations with Console: Heimat & Technik Das Heidegger-Bootleg
>(2000) The Official Olympic Bootleg (2000) and Bugs & Beats & Beasts (1999).

>People Like Us "Abridged Too Far" (2004)
>
>For the first time, UK-based People Like Us (Vicki Bennett) is releasing a new album
>exclusively online here on UbuWeb. "Abridged Too Far" is a collection of audio work first
>conceived through experimentation through or on radio. On this new collection, People
>Like Us continues its pastiche of impressions of popular music from Europe and America
>from the 1920s thru to 1990s. Vicki Bennett's work is an examination of the affect of
>hearing well known tunes and lyrics in fragments, then putting those elements to play--
>resonating, intermingling and recombining with the listeners own associations and shards
>of memories. Full-color downloadable artwork and liner notes are available.

>The 365 Days Project
>
>UbuWeb is pleased to announce the re-launch and permanent home of curator Otis F. Odder's
>365 Days Project. This legendary project, in which an MP3 a day -- of mostly outsider,
>novelty, and oddball recordings -- was made available for the public to download over the
>course of 2003. Briefly taken offline at the end of the project, it is now presented here
>in its entirety, complete with images and vast commentary on each selection. The 365 Days
>Project is part of UbuWeb's redesigned, newly-named and much expanded Outsiders section.
