long live the cassette

:)

waaaa great man! :-)

I thought... I'll flower up his post :) Some covers I really remember using ^^ 

and what you did was an excellent idea ;)

a casette is lineair as hell

so what's the meaning of life then? :p

casette's are cool, i can remember i did almost the same things when i was a youngster :))

very poetic HyeVolture

it's a pity the Digital Cassette never really lifted off :) compact discs are so fragile :) and minidiscs are so small

anyone ever did some cut'n'paste with casettes (literaly, i mean with scissors and glue) ?

I dont know which kind of drugs you take, but give me two of them :p

Everyone knows the cassette, a simple, bad quality tool used as a medium to record sound.

When I was a kid I had hours of fun making the most ridicule recordings of myself laughing and playing and inventing stories and stuff. Later I began to record some music, some stand-up comedy, some conversations of people, really, I rediscovered it. But nowadays, I lost the grip, until I had a conversation this evening and everything came back.

Our western type of thought is pure lineair, straight-ahead. Like a timeline: it begins somewhere before point 0 (the day Jesus was born, or five years before Jesus was born, who cares, there's a point 0), goes over to point 0 and continues, util now, and after the time I write this. This lineair type of thought is used for other things besides timelines, we think about life in such a way, etc... Chinese people think in an other way, the think in a way of cycli: it always returns, begins over and over again: they have no point 0. Now, take a fucking cassette, and tell me why it is so wonderful! Well, my point of view is: it's that cyclus, that's so great! Life never stops when you take a cassette! Side A is over? Well, take side B, it continues! Side B is over? Well, just restart the process!

It took me way long to really appreciate the cassette, such a fucking old invention, but hey, I finally got it all: and the meaning of life, and my love for the cassette! 

Very simple: first, jesus. then, bible, after, muslim, and after that, the vynil. Now, its the tape who become a vintage religion. In futur, a war will divide your children between bluerayist and hdvdist.

The Meaning of Life is: recording stuff is cool.

so i guess we can expect some good old cassette-quality tracks from HyeVolture! that would be great... I guess cassettes have lives of there own, are lives there selves... One gigantic 90minutes loop. I know that Kolf is one artist that produces the finest ambient here on e-bel(imo),and he uses lots of tape-work,im shure there are some more here that use it. Iv been thinkin to use tape.But only to record a finished track on tape,just to get the allmighty cassette quality. aaahhhh...the walkman times. still got an oldschool 80's like headset for my mp3 with moussy earpiece ya know. cool thread.
