I don't play a musical instrument. I make mixtapes. And I like to get creative with them. One day I heard a CD playing in a music store, called Worldwide Programme 1 by Gilles peterson. I found the diversity of music on it fascinating. Since it's not on Spotify, I put one half of it on Soundcloud. These tracks from different genres blended together like a soundtrack as if they were meant as one record. That really inspired me to start bringing tracks together that no one would think to combine, while still maintaining a specific mood and flow.
Why tapes? Well, because they are limited. It hasn't always been tapes for me. When MP3 was introduced, I put my tapes in a box in the attic. I used to love that you could fit an almost unlimited amount of digital music on a few terabytes. And then Spotify came and brought a never ending stream of new music to my doorstep. With that dream fulfilled of unlimited music at my fingertips, also came the need for things to be limited again. Nostalgia for those days that I would play a cassette tape for days on end, flipping it over and over, humming the song I knew was going to play next. Those tapes have always been like a soundtrack to my life.
