Dost Thy Instrument Hold Currents? An Electronic Cottage Compilation of Luddite Techniques

This compilation of sound artists from all over the globe challenged participants to create tracks without the use of electricity. Vocals, the shuffling of items in a junk drawer, a kazoo, the sounds of feet traversing various terrain, nature sounds, anything created without electricity was fair game. Think primitive noise.

The use of a powered recording device was of course permitted, but all sounds captured were produced without electricity.
