THE WIRE | PARALLELS

// cassette edition — signal // noise (first run, 20 units planned) A small experiment in making a record you can hold but never stream.

Got the provisional quote back today for a short run of twenty cassettes — black/white sandwich shells (Side A: white / Side B: black), on-body printing, clear cases, full J-cards. A physical split to mirror the internal one: digital-left / analogue-right, printed directly into the plastic.

This run is intentionally tiny. Partly a proof-of-concept for a future Kickstarter (vinyl, maybe even VHS music videos), but also a way of testing what a museum-object version of signal // noise can be. The core rule remains: no digital release. You can touch it, rewind it, mishear it — but you can’t link to it.

Each tape will be mailed out in a black bubble mailer, wrapped in a continuous dot-matrix scroll from Process Zine #00 (printed on the OKI). Inside the cassette case: — the full J-card — a thermal-roll DSP diagram (receipt printer) — a stray QLn420 label generated during early Second Copy tests — another QLn label used as the actual address label (All of this routed through Ezra / the Interpreter — artefacts of the machine, not merch.)

I’ll keep a handful. The rest will be sent to places that genuinely live in the intersection of sound, text, misinterpretation and glitch: Suno, The White Pube, The Quietus, The Wire, and a couple of others. Not as promos — more like dispatches from an experiment: objects carrying a signal the internet can’t hold.

No idea if anyone will actually “hear” it. Maybe that’s the point.
