Audio Archives & Radio Races

Tammy recently rescued a significant portion of her Mamaw's cassette archive of original gospel music to move it to a more climate-controlled environment. It will be a while before we can organize and digitize the tapes, but we have been thinking about audio a lot lately. 


Tammy's Mamaw Ruby May Kidd Clemons' Cassette Archive Vol. 1

In fact, we recently decided to participate in KCRW's 2018 24-Hour Radio Race with our friend Robert Rorrer as Team OM Radio. We produced a 4-minute audio piece in response to the theme, "The New Normal," which we received the moment the 24-hour race officially started. We managed to mention both of our Mamaws in the brief segment that largely centers on the topics of audio and self-documentation.



We had a great time winging it for a last-minute audio production project on "The New Normal?" and hope to participate again next year. We also hope both our Mamaws would be proud, even of such documentation of our silliness!
