As part of our ongoing endeavors under the madnomad umbrella, we've been busy digitizing music collected during our travels. Source material includes field recordings, recordings of local radio, and some 90 cassette tapes.

Related to this, we've established an Internet radio channel courtesy of live365.com. - madnomad internet radio [live365.com]. (In March 2001, we were Live365's Featured Broadcast.)

The initial program when we launched the station in Aug 2000 included music digitized from many of the cassette tapes that we acquired during our travels. Some time later, we added recordings made from local radio broadcasts in Amman, Jordan and Ankara, Turkey as well as a few snippets of "found" sound we recorded in Juzhaigou (Sichuan, China).

We are now adding recordings that we made ourselves. We'll keep a log below as to what has been added and when.

We've also begun posting photos of some of the musicians heard on the original recordings. Click for the: PHOTO GALLERY.

Check out the related resources page to find additional information about the artists included from the cassette tapes.
