Description

○ is a blank cassette compilation (volume 2 in the series).

The 10 artists were asked to submit an audio piece, with a duration of no more than 4 minutes, utilising blank tapes as the sole sound source. The pieces were then combined, top-to-tail, exquisite corpse style, to create a gestalt, resulting in the two distinct side long pieces presented here.

The artists were also asked to submit a ‘blank’ image, leaving the interpretation of which up to them. These images were then incorporated into the 5 double-sided panels serving as the art accompanying the tape.

Volume 1 of this series is here:

“‘When there hasn’t been anything there, nothing can be said to have vanished from the place where it has not been” – Walter de la Mare

“It is almost as if the nearer one approaches to a thing, the less it proves to be there, to exist at all.” – Robert Aickman

This volume is dedicated to Steve Lyon, who sadly passed away in 2020 and who once recorded music under the name White Dot.
