Tape Boy by Palke
author: Scott
Taking a step further than an experimental music performance, Tape Boy suggests moments occurring through many spaces, producing a streamline of images while listening, alike watching a film. With the music being non-metered it takes on a meditative, space time quality as well as produce a feeling of instability.

I enjoy the poetics of the song names in relation to the ambient music--creating active listening and wonder, trying to find where the title and music meet.
