About
the sonic fabric neckties are a limited-edition project made in collaboration with my designer friend julio cesar. sonic fabric is woven from 50% recorded audio cassette tape and 50% colored thread the fabric is actually audible if you run a tape head over it! (if you’d like a demo, please visit my youtube channel at alyceobvious.
the idea behind the tie is that the wearer becomes a beacon for other-dimensional, intangible, subtle forces of good…much in the manner of a superhero. only this part of the superhero garb can be worn on the outside in the most conservative environment without detection! looks equally great with dress shirt or t-shirt.
the sound collages recorded onto the tape for this batch of ties comes from my cd “between stations”: http://www.supermarkethq.com/product/between-stations-sonic-fabric-cd, and is based on looped and layered samples collected on and under the streets of nyc.
the “standard width” (3.5" at the widest point) ties come in three colors: solid black, dark brown (woven with brown tape and black thread), and light gray. this one is BLACK. each comes wrapped with an informative kraft-paper label.
Usual price $140 – on holiday sale for $18 off!
