Ridgewood Radio features concert recordings by adventurous bands and experimental musicians and restored archival tapes from private and institutional collections captured at venues large and small across the five boroughs of New York. It is produced by David Weinstein and Outpost Artists Resources operating out of the Ridgewood section of Queens, NY, where you'll find more yellow bricks than on the road to Oz and the cemetery of your choice is never more than a few blocks from home.

Spodi! Aloha! That's a Jacquard loom, which inspired the invention of the computer.

All this time I thought computers were inspired by increased demand for singing greeting cards in the post-Apollo era.

@David I did a whole series of text-to-speech pieces with it and a Radio Shack Speech Chip that I wired up that is one of the great unreturned cassettes of my life.
