Tapeline

Sometimes in life there are beautiful moments of synchronicity that happen without planning every single move that you make. When I was drafting my last post the chance to visit Tapeline caught my attention so I jumped at it immediately it was just so timely given that I had wanted to publish something about collecting vintage audio cassette tapes. Stuart Childs AKA @Sc_r and I arranged to meet up to check out Tapeline after Stuart had made a couple of phone calls to Louise at Tapeline about the possibility of getting some cassette tapes made to order. We didn’t really know what to expect and had been speculating that the manufacturing unit was probably in someone’s shed, as luck would have it, it was to be much better than that but we were right about it being a family fun firm.

Tapeline: Alan, Louise and Taylor were initially bemused by our enthusiasm when we arrived but we got along like a house on fire and they were happy to let me take photographs, and Stuart and Aaron AKA @oomlout ask lots of techy questions about the machines and how the process worked. Stuart and I had a great time with Louise looking at every type of cassette body so that we could select the holders to wind the tapes onto, we both really liked the reel to reel spools inside the clear cassette body as it was very different to the standard tape. Taylor immediately ran off a test tape of chrome c60 on the Tapematic machine to see if we would be happy with the look when the tape was wound on the spools. We couldn’t believe our luck when we realised that Taylor would make up the tapes to order on the spot so we could take them away with us after we had used Alan’s PC to use paypal for the payment of the tapes.

Just as we were getting ready to leave we spotted some boxes of ‘endless tapes’ on a shelf in the office, it just kept getting better and better now I had spotted the holy grail of audio cassettes the endless tape loop in the cassette format. Needless to say we had to have some didn’t we, at this point our minds were racing at the thought of what we could do with endless tape loops my own version of heaven is a never ending throb of dub techno, my personal sonic utopia and possibly another person’s sonic hell.

In The Trees – Drawing 7

When I started the In The Trees project last summer I never imagined for a second all of the drama that would take place over recent months with the Governments botch job of trying to sell off the forests and woodlands in the UK. Like Doh! how stupid are they? Didn’t they realise that people would react in the way the did to campaign so vociferously against this ridiculous idea. Twitter came of age and was fantastically well used as a communications tool by people against the eejits running the country. Public education isn’t everything if it doesn’t give you any common sense or the nous to engage with people. There is more to governing the Country than cutting public services to death to reduce the deficit caused by your public school friends in the shitty City.

Thanks to the following for what they have done, let me know if you think I have missed anyone?

Create Your Own QR Code – Rainy City

Inspired by the some of the torrential rain we have experienced recently ///OIII/// has submitted this drawing for the Create Your Own QR Codes Gallery. I like the quick spontaneous nature of the drawing which reflects what is going on in the world around us. The drawing is very nature vs science in the way ///OIII/// is subverting the strict science of the binary code grid to create an artwork that makes you pause for thought.

More to come in this series.
