RELUX REWIND 2019-2021

We have had another magic invite from Mamoru, and Jamie and I have had a lot of fun working with him on this fab classic. It came together quite quickly, as we all felt a lot of empathy with the song and Mamoru's arrangement.
When I finished the vocals, I realised I had sung "take a chance" instead of "shake a hand" on the last line of the second verse..lol.. we left it in!
We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did creating it!

Composed by the Trumpeter and Bandleader Joe Morris and originally recorded by Faye Adams in 1953

An immersive soundscape, that merges field recordings with a track by Snow*Omen @snow_omen (Improvisation Nr. 9 for two guitars and voice). Field recordings: Westhafen (West harbour), Berlin. 
Except for the musical part and not in order of appearance: 
A freight train passes.
A small boat rattles against the mooring.
Scrap metal is transported from one scrap heap to another.
Trucks drive past.
A crane lifts containers. 
An annoying repetitive electronic signal starts and stops at some point. 
A rude dude asks me from a distance to switch off the camera that I don't have, as I record with my Zoom H2N.
Small waves splash against the harbor basin.
And there's wind...

Tape Lab x Brillman, Bad Weather 26.06.24:

It's getting hotter, drier, wetter and more extreme every day. Little by little. An omnipresent haze of unseen greenhouse gas. Bad Weather getting worse. Bad Weather you believe it or not. An incremental, subtle centigrade of decimals. Sound swirls, a high-pressure system of atmosphere and entropy.

Two things taken together: Brillman x Tape Lab and global warming. Both coming at you all the time on all sides. Unavoidable yet often ignored.

If you don’t feel it, just wait. Echoes from the past, thought long lost to the ice, thawed and dislodged - glacial gifts as artifacts frozen for the future. A yawning and unexplored expanse of liminal space in between the calm and calamity - a cocooning cacophony.

A cyclical ricochet reverb bounced back and forth across a rapidly warming earth.

Layers of samples compose an atmosphere, insulating from and for chaos and Kaossilator. Words concealed as sound speak volumes behind a Vangelic vision (Text by Tape Lab). 

Btw, we made this one downloadable. 
Ps. Please listen on decent headphones as the stereo spread helps to survive the chaos:)

When the Night Falls

Welcome to #TapeLab—stay a while and listen. Founded in 2017 by lifelong friends, Tape Lab is a collective of artists and a hub for innovation, always open to collaboration. With the zeal of a self-published memoir, our sound is our own, but you can be the decider. We make music and art that sounds like it was fun to make and stands out in a sea of bland beats. 

As independent artists, we are always exploring new ways to expand our audience and find new creative outlets—especially with other undiscovered artists!

#TapeLab is currently based out of two headquarters in Durham, NC, and The Hamptons, NY.
