*200 copies limited edition* The project "The Tapes" by Giancarlo Drago developed over a span of 10 years, between 1982 and 1992, before being revived in 2016 in Genoa, Italy. In 1982, Drago was 16 years old and recorded his first tape using toy instruments and creating loops with cassettes, influenced by industrial and new wave music.

"First CD reissue of legendary collaboration between Christina Kubisch and Fabrizio Plessi." "The performance started with a four-channel ambient sound that continued throughout the whole performance. Since I had no sampling possibilities at that time, all of the instruments were recorded solo in my studio on a Revox machine. The recordings -- one channel for each instrument -- were repeated several times in order to create a kind of 'mega-loop' and the final result was transferred to a four-cha…

Long out of print, very few copies available: the sound installation “24 Pictures at an Exhibition” has resulted in three different pieces. The first one comes close to the installation as presented in the museum – the technical term “oil on canvas/olja på duk” being one of the mostly repeated; the other two take us further from the original work without leaving the basis, i.e. the art collection of Ystad Art Museum. The paintings and the informative texts returned to their places in the rooms o…
