Inside the underground cassette tape label reviving physical media (and defying algorithm culture)

Modern Aviation cassette tape with artwork by Sarah Matthews.

We spend eight hours a day staring at screens, sitting in calls, and carefully sculpting sentences across a page. But nobody is just their job title. We contain multitudes. The colleague reviewing your drafts might be an award-winning poet, a competitive baker, or building physical worlds on the weekend.

Still, it’s always a delight when the curtain pulls back. By day, Will Salmon is our Collections Editor. He's also a veteran music journalist, a long-time collector and the founder of Modern Aviation, an underground indie tape label releasing physical cassettes to a devoted subculture of music lovers.
