"HOP-ON" microcassette mail art and video album by Arne Wiese & Fiver's Stereo

2/25/2019

Having lost the ability to transfer microcassettes directly, I decided to make real time improvisational sounds over Per-Arne Hognert's tape and use my GoPro camera to capture the results. I sat the microcassette recorder close to the camera as the tiny tape played and improvised sounds and minimal visuals. Hop on!

Hi Jay! That was a lot of fun to listen to (and watch also!). Love it! If I remember correctly I included this cassette just as a small bonus, but now I'm very happy you did something cool with it!! :) Great work! Many thanks, my friend.

Per-Arne! I'm glad you like it. I love the Bong Witch album you sent and look forward to some hi-fi collaborations via wetransfer in the coming months.

I'm very happy you enjoyed my Bong Witch album!
Do you have any specific idea in mind for the hi-fi collaboration? I do have a digital dictaphone for field recordings and other randomness. Maybe you want more musical stuff to jam to? Let me know what you think.

This is a great new approach to long-distance collaboration! The visuals add new dimensions as well!

All of my microcassette players are shot except for one: it still plays tapes but can't record anything unless something is plugged directly into it.
