New title in our collection! A wonderful magazine made in Warsaw, Poland, on sound and sound art.

The mobile cassette recorder in Poland and Eastern Europe, in the communist era, was often used in everyday life as the tactics of resistance to regimes of power and symbolic violence (as a cultural memory, tactical medium or dissident activity). To circulate art, political speeches, satire and underground music avoiding censorship.
Today cassette tape still produces the cultural dreams, phantasms and memories: recording process as a metaphor; cleaning the tapes, erasing the memories, deleting the history; tape hiss and „the uncanny”. MC is the new, old thing. Authors include: Dariusz Brzostek (editor), Paweł Bohuszewicz, Maciej Byliniak, Olga Drenda, Rigels Halili, Antoni Michnik, Tomasz Misiak, Radosław Sirko and Justyna Stasiowska. All texts in this focus are in English and a compilation tape comes with it: “The Sounds of Deep Poland”, produced by Noisen Records especially for Glissando.
