rhythm tapes out now on all formats

More tapes out in the wild.

I’ve been sending small packages of tapes to friends along with a note asking them to place them out in the world somewhere for others to find. A small offering. I’ve begun to get some photos back. — Hi Friend, If you’re up for it I’d love your help in placing these somewhere out in the world — a park bench, a forest, a bus stop — wherever feels right. Thanks for helping me let this drift outward…

The ‘rhythm tapes’ vinyl was made in collaboration with Onyx Records. Instead of paper labels, we used a laser machine to etch a shape from the sequencer that drove the music. They had to use a manual press to make it happen, and as far as they know this is the first time it’s ever been done 🫡 Layout by @michaelcina Mastering by @audibleoddities
