Adrian Shephard and Rinus van Alebeek play and discuss tapes, but not only. Adrian reads a page from the Giger diary like Giger (in a Swedish/Swiss accent), because he visited an exhibition in Berlin and includes the works of Hans Bellmann in his review. But art is not for eternity, more topics get discussed: boosters, … Continue reading The Tape Review Show – parallel worlds
Cassette Review: J.G. Sparkes – The Infinity Suite I-XII
Christmas time in my native town, streets are dark and wet. Shopkeepers took over long ago. Real estate developers helped them. Only pedestrians walk their streets. I feel odd on my bicycle. Shops sell things that I don't need. Some shops died and never got replaced. No doomsday feelings are admitted. Megaphones appeared in trees … Continue reading Cassette Review: J.G. Sparkes – The Infinity Suite I-XII

Cassette Review: Giorgio Dursi – Poetry reading with sound footnotes
In front of the mirror, a man opens his mouth. It goes a long way, his look, because his mouth is wide open. It is bigger than his face. It is bigger than his face and he thinks of Fantastic Voyage an American science-fiction movie. The film is about a submarine crew who shrink to … Continue reading Cassette Review: Giorgio Dursi – Poetry reading with sound footnotes

Cassette Review: Chemiefaserwerk – Zerbrechliche Commons
In Wagner's operas there was always a moment that all the horns united in a long sustained sound. It was a golden sound to mark a golden moment. The title could have been Alpenglühen (Glowing Alps) or Erwachen (Awakening). In this golden moment a golden boy, the hero, would finally keep his mouth shut and … Continue reading Cassette Review: Chemiefaserwerk – Zerbrechliche Commons

Cassette Review: Storch Interior Extracts – Remote Assistance Failure
I fall into an endless series of bloobs. I think of a house of mirrors and the endless reflections of self perhaps a good location for any novel or movie that needs endless reflections of reflections on self. A sonic equivalent of a house of mirrors with mothers with crying children. A car alarm that … Continue reading Cassette Review: Storch Interior Extracts – Remote Assistance Failure

Cassette Review: Ezio Piermattei – Tre Madri Ludopatiche
There is a thick fog. A low hum, that sounds like a stretched melody, announces the arrival of a something. But a what? A black mass arrives out of the fog, it grows bigger and bigger. It's a ship. On the attic, a man looks at pictures of an old magazine. He reads about an … Continue reading Cassette Review: Ezio Piermattei – Tre Madri Ludopatiche

Cassette Review: F. Ampism – Black Moss Pot
First I thought of ragdolls. They take on life and dance around in a children's dreamstate. It is all very British, because these dolls are made in the Victorian age and bring memories of a grand empire, children wearing big straw heads, riding donkey-carts meeting an Indian Sultan on the back of an elephant. The … Continue reading Cassette Review: F. Ampism – Black Moss Pot

Cassette Review: Felice Sciorilli – Night Has Told Me
Yes, that is what I like. Right from the start the sounds transport me to an image of a white passenger ship rising high above communal houses in an Italian port. It is a picture from the 1960s when emigrants still travelled by boat. Among them were people who left their homeland the Netherlands to … Continue reading Cassette Review: Felice Sciorilli – Night Has Told Me

Cassette Review! Giovanni Lami – Hysteresis I
A new feature on our website: cassette reviews. We have a special page for it. But we will publish the review also on this blog, where it can slowly bubble under. In my temporary dwelling, from my balcony, and looking through the window as well, I enjoy a view on hills and on the … Continue reading Cassette Review! Giovanni Lami – Hysteresis I
