I make tapes. I don't limit myself. Not mix tapes, or albums either. Tapes made unique as they're being recorded. One of my favorite ways of making tapes is to record drums being fed through the pedals, with one mic hanging and one mic in the kick, other stuff feeding in too, depending, recording that tape, putting it on the computer, then feeding the computer through another tape deck and that through a 4 track and that into a tape recorder. By mixing different things, and "playing" the middle tape deck with fast forward and reverse and pause (which gives a slower, more controlled FF) as well as stop and play, which blank out the audio coming from the 4 track for a beat, each tape is completely unique and usually custom made for somebody, with them in mind the whole time. This is what the first step usually looks like
The tapes I record onto are bought cheap at thrift stores, recovered if i like them, and selected based on their covers. If the cover is blank on one side, i buy it. Once home and listening back to the MASTERPIECE i put on that tape, i turn the cover inside out and draw a new one for the person i'm making it for.
Ask me for one, I will be glad to make it for you.
