THE SECRET SOUND LIBRARY * • .
Researching the history of Secret Sound over the years, I have collected many rare and special documents related to this history. As many of the artists have remained relatively unknown and under-appreciated, I have been able to attain the contents of my tiny library with minimal cost, which has suited my ongoing poverty quite well. This is just a place to share some of these items, which I consider to be special and/or beautiful. With the goal of the Secret Sound project (ongoing podcast, eventual book) reaching a larger audience, I hope one day (post-pandemic) to be able to display and share these items alongside lectures/readings and musical performances.
