An electro-kinetic sound installation, Tape uses simple analogue  
playback to give users an opportunity to play with self-recorded sound  
and explore the effects of playback and sound synthesis. Housed in a  
transparent acrylic panel, Tape allows its user not only to view the  
oft-hidden components needed to record sound, but also to manipulate  
them as they see fit. Using Tape's continuous tape loop and assemblage  
of appropriated and hand built electro-mechanical analogue parts, the  
user can not only record and play sounds, but physically slide, twist  
and move these components within the panel to explore their roles and  
uses. The experience moves away from the precision and care often  
needed to create audio tracks and allows for the innate curiosity and  
playfulness that drives us to experiment, in this case, with sound. As  
sound recording moves ever further into the digital sphere, Tape  
allows users to explore and play with the analogue processes we now  
take for granted in our everyday lives.
TAPE is a interactive audio sculpture, which was developed by  
Someth;ng, an art collective from London. It was one of three  
commissions for Cybersonica International festival of Music, Sound,  
Art & Technology 2006, funded by the Arts Council and exhibited at  
Phonica Records in central London from 08-26 May 2006. This unique,  
fully analog art piece is now for sale!

ONLY ON FOR 3 DAYS!

The sculpture which is approx. 1.90m high and 1.20m wide has been  
exhibited throughout the UK as part of the Future of Sound tour, Late  
at Tate and The Shop at Bluebird and Digital Wellbeing Labs at the  
opening of Black & White.

You are welcome to come round and have a look in our studio in London,
