AUDIO - VERSION 1.0

loam's cassette hiss guitar was created by marrying the concepts of high-end digital production with lo-fidelity home recording. An electric guitar performance was recorded through an analogue handheld cassette recorder which was then used to transfer the audio to a computer. Deliberate mis-handling of audio cables led to sound dropouts and "tape hiss", which was then re-processed with a laptop. The final piece is a lush interpretation of the history of home audio recording.

koura's field recordings capture moments frozen in time at various locations throughout Japan. These short digital postcards of sound provide a wide variety of starting points for future works.
