"Initiated by artist György Galántai, Artpool Radio is a series of 8 cassette tapes produced though through mail art networks across Europe. Described as 'cassette-radio, radio work', they are a mix of interviews, conversations, music, ambient recordings, documentation of telecommunication concerts, improvisations, sound art, found sounds, spoken word and so on. Amongst the many activities of Galántai's artistic career, he is also the founder of the alternative art archive, Artpool, in Budapest, Hungary.” Companion Website for The Oxford Handbook of Sound Studies, Chapter 19, Oxford University Press, USA, 2011 (Ed. by Trevor Pinch – Karin Bijsterveld)
