MASTER CACTUS is a NYC-based magazine comprised solely of audio works and released on cassette tape. Issues feature sound contributions from artists, musicians, poets, journalists, comedians, performance artists, and more from across the U.S.A. www.mastercactus.com

M.C. is derived from the legacy of a tape series called Tellus Audio Cassette Magazine, which documented the New York music and art scene from 1983-1993 and featured hundreds of notable and soon-to-be-notable cultural contributors (Sonic Youth, Christian Marclay, Louise Lawler, Shelley Hirsch, Joseph Nechvatal, Arto Lindsay).
