*2025 stock. 240 copies limited edition* Giancarlo Drago's The Tapes project continues its archaeology of forgotten technologies with Teletyp, named after the obsolete communication devices that preceded modern digital networks. The album transforms the mechanical rhythms and electronic interference of teletype machines into compositional elements, creating a sonic bridge between analog past and digital present.
Drago's approach treats obsolescence as opportunity, finding new music in abandoned technologies. The tracks pulse with the mechanical precision of teletype hammers striking paper, while electromagnetic interference creates ghostly melodies. The result is both nostalgic and futuristic, suggesting that progress might sometimes mean looking backward for inspiration.
