Electronic Cottage is an international platform and magazine for alternative sound art and mailart. But Electronic Cottage is also a ‘community’, of which we can all be a member. So Electronic Cottage is going back to the ‘first DIY movement’ and the accompanying FLUXUS thought heritage; art is everyday and there are no boundaries between art and music. From there emerges the phenomenon mail-art. Together with the development of the music cassette that resulted at the end of the 70’s and begin 80’s in a lively audio-mail-art culture. Electronic Cottage records and at the same time is just as dynamic as 30/40 years ago, by giving every day artists a podium for their absurd and unpredictable ‘art in progress’.

It can’t be heard any more alas but purely for information purposes here’s the American Soundgerm Collection. Two nights which were compiled after attention was given to artists from 2007 , which can also be found and listened to via the Electronic Cottage website.
