Lost Tapes Vol. 1 - Time Capsule Composition

Lost Tapes Vol. 1 is the first in a series of cassette tape-based compositions to be released over the next five years. As we run out of time to address the worst of the climate crisis and limit nuclear proliferation, an apocalyptic future becomes more of an inevitable reality with each passing day.

Lost Tapes is a collection of environmental soundscapes, sonified image data, electromagnetic distortion and snippets of my own compositions, combined to form an auditory collage of a musical life before the collapse.

After the recording of the video performance of the tape piece, this tape was buried in a time capsule in an undisclosed location in the city of Tkarón:to. Each volume in the tape series over the next decade (1 every 2 years), will be buried in similar capsules across the Greater Tkarón:to Area. My hope is that future generations that potentially survive the oncoming collapse will find these tapes, decode the auditory warnings and messages from the old world, and experience extinct acoustic signatures from a long-gone era of human civilization.
