OldBroadcasts.com fan Mike Gorman wrote to say how much he loves the site. Mike writes and preforms experimental folk songs and occasionally uses samples — bits and pieces — of old time radio programs in his music.

He writes:

As an artist I use old time radio sounds and collage them with folk songs I write. I’d like to share that work with y’all if you’d be interested in hearing it. You can find all my work for free here at my soundcloud site. http://soundcloud.com/mike-gorman-music/sets/a-strange-wind

I’ve begun work on a new project entitled Sister Mountain, a song cycle dealing with urban and rural environments and the destruction/progress. I hope to find some good resources on your site. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them.

The song above, Good Man, samples Phillip Marlowe — “The Last Wish.” [MP3 link]

Mike’s recorded vocal technique parallels fellow experimental folkie Jose Gonzales.
