The cassette tape is an iconic object, everyone recognises it even if they dont use them any more. It embodies a mode of thinking specific to its time, it symbolises our own doomed existence, obsolete the moment we are born, obliged by an innate sense of curiosity to discover both the highs and lows of possibility. This is the fidelty of fate, if you never experience the depths of chaos you will never appreciate how fine things can get. Like noise things are random, crazy, insane, sick but still we can make sense of it all somehow. Recording onto tape is a process, a kind of ritual, tape is the ancester of all recorded data that today we rely on daily, a technosphere of knowledge manifested most obviously today by the internet. A mental mantle of global mind-set. Check the tapenoise website for poetry and upsidedowndates.
