Reelfoot Library of Music and Sound

Reelfoot Library of Music and Sound (number 5)

I received the latest volume from Reelfoot* in the mail a while back, but it was lost in the shuffle and I forgot to place it in my stack of "to listen to and look ats". Anyway, I got around to it today, and it is yet another fantastic collection of sounds/visuals from the folks at Reelfoot. It's always a pleasant surprise to open the mail, especially when it contains unique, thought provoking, and original ideas and art.

A bit about Reelfoot:

THE REELFOOT LIBRARY IS DIVIDED INTO FOUR BRANCHES WITH ALL OF ITS CONTENT EITHER BEING CREATED IN-HOUSE OR DONATED BY OUR NETWORK OF CONTRIBUTORS.

BOOKS
Reelfoot Books is interested in releasing small edition, handmade books that deal with folklore, tall tales, artist books, or anything else that involves a good story or beautiful images. We will also post short stories in a digital format for reading online.

SOUND
The Reelfoot Library of Music and Sound collects rare, common, and many times, previously unheard recordings. 2-3 times a year we mail out compilations composed of tracks hand picked from our dusty vaults.We are always accepting donations of original songs and sound bites, in fact this is how a large portion of our collection was acquired. Donors will be added to the physical mailing list and receive an official Reelfoot Certificate of Participation. This wing of the library is also in charge of our frequently updated Reelfoot Podcast, which catalogs field recordings, journalistic adventures, and other audible odditties.

FILM
The moving image branch is the newest edition. Initially, we plan to post a series of found films, however, we are also interested in commissioning ideas for short fiction and documentaries. The films will be archived onto DVD format, and available for purchase through the Reelfoot Library website.

DEPARTMENT OF EDITIONS
Also known as the Reelfoot Gift Shop, patrons will find anything from books, to limited edition sculptures. All available through mail order and purchase in our online store.

Check them out.
