Working full time and saving for overseas travels and then going overseas = a quiet creative output last year. It was also the year that a very important collaboration formed. Sarah Barrow and myself teamed up again and a powerful force was unleashed!
After many chats about our mutual love for cassettes and participatory arts projects and letterboxes we settled on the Mixed Tape Project. The idea is to produce a number of cassettes based on a system where one person records a track on the tape and then posts it back to us who then post it on to another person. We have changed this system to an email system though now with a handmade mailout surprise to each person who gets a track on the tape. It's still an unpredictable outcome where we get as much as a surprise as the audience. Check out the blog for details.... (http://mixedtapeproject.blogspot.com/)
We also ventured up to This Is Not Art with a swag of homemade cassettes under the label name "Cassexx" to sell at the Zine fair. It was a success! Cassexx sold out!
This project is still going strong after one year. The tapes are yet to be completed and we are always open for more collaborators!
