about

<kat no.38>

The second tape in the series will be released by Tone Burst on the 28th of November 2022. The cassette will feature a two-minute loop by T. Jervell called “Decomposing transition”

The digital counterpart consists of a twenty-minute snapshot of autumn. Repeating and reflecting the cassette loop, adding parts, removing parts, deconstructing parts. Listening to the decay, as it happens.

The loop tapes have been duplicated by letting each successive tape be a copy of the former, thus being a representation of autumns slow decay. The idea being that audio (in theory) might degrade a small amount, for each duplication. This degradation is furthermore enhanced by the fact that every time the listener hears the loop, the physical tape will get worn, and eventually completely degrade.

The tea provided with the cassette is a Pu-erh tea harvested in 2000. It has been fermented and stored for 20 years in Jinggu, China. It has a distinct earthy taste, with Jujube and liquorice tones.

Complete project outline by T. Jervell.
-------------------------------------------
Four Artists. Four endless loop cassettes.
One for each of the year’s seasons.
Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring.
The year passes. Seasons come and go.
An endless cycle. An endless loop.

Each tape is released in an edition of 8.
Each tape contains 2 minutes of audio.
The native Sami musical expression is called a Yoik.
A Yoik has no beginning or end.
Inspired by the idea of a story with no beginning or end,
the tapes (and thus the music contained on the tape)
have no beginning nor end.
They’ll play in an endless loop, for as long as the listener wants to.

There will also be tea. Loose leaf tea.
Representing nature and the changing of seasons.
To brew and enjoy while listening to the cassette.

There will be digital versions available
The form and function of these digital representations
will vary according to each artists’ vision.

Have you ever imagined an invisible someone noodling on a synth while some French people are at a family gettogether and are apparently oblivious to said noodling or maybe really do find it normal and that it blends into the evenings proceedings? This is what that sounds like. Intriguing. finldavi
