sonic (cassette tape) necktie - black
alyce santoro
About
sonic fabric – the invention of conceptual and sound artist alyce santoro – is a durable, beautiful, audible textile woven from 50% recorded audio cassette tape and 50% colored polyester thread. the fabric is woven in new england, and small, limited-edition accessories are hand sewn in manhattan by designer julio cesar. sonic fabric emits a garbled, underwater-like sound if you run a tape head over it (for a demo, please visit youtube channel alyceobvious).
“between stations” – the sound collage overdubbed onto the current batch of tape before weaving – is an ode to life in new york city, composed of looped and layered samples lovingly collected mostly on and under the streets of manhattan and brooklyn. please listen and download at sonic fabric.com
looks equally great with dress shirt or t-shirt.
all sonic fabric products are guaranteed to be good-vibe emitting.
the ties come in three colors: dark brown (woven with brown tape and black thread), light gray (gray thread, black tape), and black (black tape, black thread).
each comes packaged with descriptive cardstock label.








super cool looking tie and great service! alyce contacted me within a day (within hours actually) to let me know she had received my order and i received the tie within 5 days of ordering it (it shipped cross country). the black version has a great slight sheen to it as a result of the fabric. it's a great looking tie for the music-oriented gentlemen.
