ABOUT THE NITETIME.NET MUSIC ARCHIVE
====================================

This is a reading-and-listening archive for original music released as
nitetime.net[DJRC]. It is not merely a filename dump. The menus provide
several routes through the same unruly body of work: albums, chronology,
sound, recurring story worlds, and a few editorial shortcuts for the
visitor who has just come in from the dark.

The archive currently holds documentation and external listening links,
not local audio files. No claim about a mix or instrument is made unless
it appears in supplied titles, lyrics, metadata, or earlier notes. Where
the source offers only a title and duration, the catalog says less.


WHAT KIND OF MUSIC IS THIS?
---------------------------

At one end: industrial bass, dubstep pressure, distorted announcements,
crowd chants, error messages, and a transmitter being driven well beyond
the warranty. At the other: brushed drums, vibraphone, theremin, cocktail
jazz, analog warmth, lake water, and an old television trying to sleep.

Between them are Ed Wood film songs, raccoon archive crews, webmasters
with admin privilege, UFOs above Wisconsin, station IDs, family tributes,
summer bingo music, Esperanto dance lessons, and concept albums that
treat broadcasting as an act of survival.

EDITORIAL POSITION
------------------

The best way to understand Nitetime music is to accept that sincerity
and ridiculousness are not opposites here. A giant bass cannon can be a
joke and still be the correct dramatic device. A raccoon can be funny
and still carry a reel of film as if civilization depends on it. The
garage is both a garage and a broadcast temple. Stay with the signal.
