Streaming audio from the noise-arch cassette tape collection

Primary LanguagePython

noise-arch radio

This is the source code behind noise-arch radio, an audio streaming station sourced with archival cassette tape content from archive.org.

The cassette archive is described as this:

This collection is a compilation of underground/independently-released cassette tapes from the days when the audio cassette was the standard method of music sharing... generally the mid-eighties through early-nineties. The material represented includes tape experimentation, industrial, avant-garde, indy, rock, diy, subvertainment and auto-hypnotic materials. Much of this material defies category, and has therefore not been given one.

The bulk of the tapes in this library were donated to the project by former CKLN FM radio host Myke Dyer in August of 2009. The original NOISE-ARCH site was hosted and maintained by Graham Stewart and Mark Lougheed.

Infinite thank yous to The Internet Archive for making this material available and for preserving rare media forever.

TODO:

Maybe do these at some point (or at least convert them to issues):

  • link to discogs search
  • image carousel
  • update page <title>
  • blocklist for dumb items
  • recent past plays
  • enable https
  • normalize volume
