about

A SUPERSONIC HEAD TRIP THROUGH THE 20TH CENTURY

The Noise Museum is a unique entry in the catalog of Wisconsin musician Mike Starling. Working in a tiny basement studio with one of the first consumer 4-track cassette recorders, he created a mind-bending 30-minute sonic collage fusing found sound and spoken word with deep bass grooves, jazzy guitar chords, atmospheric textures and low-tech machine beats.

The sound bites are culled from everything from vintage radio shows and historic speeches to news reports and interviews Starling conducted during his days as a newspaper reporter.

Originally released in a limited cassette run in 1993, this long-form electronic psycho dub mashup has been out of print for decades. Now, to commemorate the project's 30th anniversary, The Noise Museum has been restored and optimized from the original analog stereo mix for digital release exclusively on Bandcamp.
