recycled cassette tape slit scarf

About
this is a unisex “slit scarf” made of cobalt blue sonic fabric, an audible textile woven from recycled cassette tape, with a matching polar fleece lining (this very unique design allows the texture of the two layers of the scarf to be visible – like two scarves in one!). one edge of the scarf includes a selvedge made of loops of tape.
sonic fabric actually makes sound if you run a tape head over its surface (please visit my youtube channel for demo videos and more). the tape that this batch of fabric is woven from is prerecorded with collages of sound-samples collected on and under the streets of new york city – this collection of compositions is called “between stations”, and is also available here at supermarket.
this is a one-of-a-kind sample.
