DK in Canada, John Hudak, Richard Franecki, Al Margolis, Zan Hoffman, Deaf Lions, and Das were among my first contacts. Zan was the first person I collaborated with, and subsequently we have released over fifty cassettes under the name Minoyzannoy. I frequently send cassettes to mail art shows, and they are enthusiastically received. There is even a trend toward audio documentation of mail art exhibitions and projects in addition to the traditional visual documentation. Although there are many crossover artists involved in both mail art and mail music, the two networks remain largely segregated.
Many mail artists have no idea about the enormous growth of cassette culture in the eighties.
Many people working with cassettes are unaware of the parallel network of mail artists. I fully expected these two disciplines to merge closer together in the eighties, but it hasn't really happened. I feel that I have the best of both worlds and am anxious to break down the barriers between the networks. If the Berlin Wall can fall, surely the nineties can provide the cooperative cultural atmosphere for an explosion of media synthesis. Here is the index of this electronic book.
