Electronic Cottage Compilation 6: Rubber Stamp Sound
was originally released on cassette in an edition of 90 copies
in October 2019, and consisted of recordings by 45 members of the
Electronic Cottage community.
Contributors submitted recordings of two minutes or less on a standard audio cassette, and spoke their names and locations
at the beginning of their recordings.
Cassette compilation covers were rubber stamped in black ink
on plain white card stock with the title and theme,
and the cassette labels were handprinted.
No other texts were given with the original cassette version.
The original cassette copies were duplicated and rubber stamped at home.
Each of the 45 contributors received two complimentary copies of the tape compilation, and each copy was unique due to the nature of rubber stamps and analog duplication.
The character of these recordings is primitive and lo-fi, very direct and personal.

Recorded on the hottest days in the longest year, "Radioactive Desire" is an avant-garde piece with an almost visceral impact. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 5, 2021
