CASSETTE: A Documentary Film about the Cassette Tape
gennaio 24th, 2012, 12:55 | Posted in: Aesthetics, Music
Ultimi giorni per la campagna Kickstarter del progetto cinematografico dedicato alla cultura dei nastri “CASSETTE: A Documentary Film about the Cassette Tape”.
A few months ago, the term cassette tape was taken out of the Oxford English Dictionary.
It may seem ironic, then, that the cassette has experienced a quiet comeback over the last few years, as independent labels issuing tape-only releases have begun popping up around the world. What better excuse to take a look back at this beloved musical format? As recorded sound continues its love affair with the downloadable, ethereal digital file, the tangible artefact is quickly becoming a thing of the past.
Help us celebrate the A Side, the B Side, the mixtape, and the whole of cassette culture by supporting Cassette: A Documentary. We’ll look at all parts of popular culture influenced by the cassette, including hip-hop and B-Boy culture, indie rock, home recording, and beyond.
Nonostante abbia già ricevuto un buon numero di feedback da realtà come il Sundance Film Festival, il documentario è attualmente in fase di realizzazione e i curatori del progetto, Zack Taylor e Seth Smoot, cercano fondi per finanziarne l’ultimazione attraverso la nota piattaforma online Kickstarter. Date un’occhiata al trailer e se vi interessa supportare la causa facendo la vostra donazione qui.
