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)

We Ate The Acid
Joe Roberts
New York: Anthology Editions, 2018.“Artist Joe Roberts has spent more than a decade honing a deeply unique and unapologetically hallucinogenic style of art. Through paintings, drawings and mixed-media works, Roberts navigates a world of cosmic imagery, pop cultural detritus, and shifting geometric forms, bringing to life both the creeping unease and the uncanny humor of the psychedelic experience. Collecting over 100 new and recent works along with an introduction by Hamilton Morris (Hamilton’s Pharmacopeia), We Ate the Acid is the latest product of Roberts’ visionary journeys and a testament to his expansive, singular imagination.” (publisher’s blurb)
