about

'''' is a blank cassette compilation (volume 4 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 printed onto semi-transparent paper, shredded and presented as the art accompanying the tape.

This is the final volume in the series.

"On and on, with eyes shut, into a yawning emptiness"
Friedebert Tuglas
