Sound Practices: A Journal of Audio Technology
Joe Roberts
Alexandria and Austin: Sound Practices, 1992-1997.A complete run in 16 issues of the audiophile journal Sound Practices edited by Joe Roberts. “…hands-down the hippest and most controversial hi-fi ‘zine, reverses the common belief that the hi-fi gear of the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s sucked and that modern components sound superior. This mag argues just the reverse: that ever since the gritty transistor replaced the smooth-sounding tube, the sound of hi-fi systems has steadily gotten worse instead of better. .. Lest you think that a bunch of guys into ’30s retro-tech are old freaks, the Sound Practices mob is made up of swashbuckling techno-anarchists who range from members of the avant-garde NY art scene to many of the most well-respected minds in international hi-fi. And the articles range from the highly technical to wildly imaginative think pieces.” (Wired, 1st December 1994)

Cobweb of Trips: A Literary History of Psychedelics
Robert Dickins
Vale of Pewsey: Psychedelic Press, 2024.“Cobweb of Trips is a literary history of psychedelics that catches a sublime aesthetic weaving its way through mid-twentieth century Britain and beyond – one which asks how early experimenters sought to find a role for psychedelics in society. Spinning a psychospiritual thread from literature and the history of medicine, this story brings to light how the question of psychedelics, and the trips people had, were animated by the eraÂ’s cultural transformations. From spiritual reimaginings and scientific novelty, to political agitation and the counterculture of the 1960s, Cobweb of Trips is a poetic thread emerging when the psychedelic experience alighted in modern history.” (publisher’s blurb)

Sideshow Alley: Infamy, the Macabre & the Portrait
Joanna Gilmour
Canberra: National Portrait Gallery, 2015.“Featuring a sometimes disquieting selection of portraits, Sideshow Alley combines history, biography and the art of portraiture with true crime, scandal and sensation. National Portrait Gallery Curator Joanna Gilmour introduces the relationship between death and portraiture via a focus on the various ways in which artists, photographers and entrepreneurs made use of portraits of Australian convicts and criminals: the canny or unscrupulous publishers trading in salacious prints and penny dreadfuls; the otherwise respectable people who put carte de visite of serial killers into their family albums; the photographic studios doing a brisk trade in portraits of heroes and villains; and the waxworks proprietors who, with their ‘Chambers of Horrors’, turned violence, misfortune and the macabre into a lucrative art form.” (publisher’s blurb)
