alocispepraluger102 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 i looked for this topic. i thought it was on the forum last week, but i cant find it. http://mashable.com/2013/06/14/sonic-fabric-tapes/ Tape cassettes are like endangered species: not often seen in the wild and on a fast track to extinction. But conceptual artist Alyce Santoro is trying to save them, while simultaneously appealing to the fashion world and developing a whole new way of making music. To create the material she calls "sonic fabric," Santoro mixes strips of one-eighth inch audio tape with polyester fibers. The tape and polyester are woven together on a loom; appropriately, older sewing technology seems to work better on audio tape than more modern machines. The audio tape retains its magnetization, which means it can play sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
