88 Tapes by Various
One afternoon in the early 1980's I decided to take apart and reassemble my stereo that had a quarter inch input socket as well as a turntable and tape player/recorder. The result was a fantastic malfunctioning, stuttering and glitching piece of equipment that suddenly realised my ideas of creating new sound explorations. I promptly pressed the record button on the cassette deck, let rip on my brothers electric guitar and promised myself to write a song from the results one day.
In 2008 the c90 tape was rediscovered purely by chance in a house move and the rediscovery of this TDK inspired me to contact a group of artists and composers who I have spent a number of years listening to. There was just a simple single track sent off via email for inspiration to compose a piece of work for this compilation if anyone had the urge. They did and I am forever grateful to everyone involved in deconstructing the tape and creating this album. Special thanks goes to Taylor Deupree (12k) for mastering this work in the summer of 2008.
