*2026 stock* "Magnetic Tape is able to record, store and playback audio recordings. It enables repetition and the capturing of time in a sonic shape. It frees listening from the confines of chronology and thus of history and creates a sonic pluriverse where everything can be played at once, again and again sounding between the familiar and the unfamiliar the particular darkness of the human heart and the peculiar density which surrounds everything that is real. Thus giving access to time’s plasticity that does not follow itself but generates unexpected shapes. These are not permanent however, but deteriorate over time due to fragility and stickiness which renders the recording unusable" - Salomé Voegelin
Cassette Album is a compilation of sonic responses to tape scores by the artist and writer Salomé Voegelin. It features work by eight artists – Pisitakun, super inter, Heather Frasch, Magda Drozd, Mariam Rezaei, Samson Young, Hannah Silva and Cody Yantis – who each have composed works in response to individual tape scores by Salomé.
Salomé Voegelin is an artist and writer engaged in listening and sound making as a socio-political practice. She works from the relational logic of sound to focus on the in-between and the liminal, to imagine the world from its indivisibility. Voegelin writes articles and papers, books, texts and text-scores for performance and publication: Her most recent book Uncurating Sound: Knowledge with Voice and Hands (2023) reconsiders art as political not in its message or aim, but by the way it confronts the institution; and her Album Paint your lips while singing your favourite pop song, a compilation of eight responses to her text-scores, was released by Flaming Pines in 2022.
