Samba-Eletro-Groove

Apology

I recorded myself on my tascam while recording onto the reel-to-reel tape, and then I playback the tape on the recording. There is no eq, filtering or any adjustments other than cut and paste in ProTools. Additionally, you will hear a layer offtime slightly on the actual playback to make the recording really meta and confuse the listener. I want to explore time, and I reference time in the recording with '1971'. I am interested in how time fades, the concept of taking time, spending time, wasting time, looking back, how time flies, the idea of living forever, preserving life, self preservation, and staying still. Further, I explore the idea of preserving the memory on tape, so it can live longer through sound... even though tape is limited and degrades over time... memories fade... also the quality is disparate on aged equipment...This was as close to a performance as I could get!
