WHATS TAPE CANON? oh, the tape canon was inside us all along...
HAND MADE? you can open the third eye of most tape recorders by removing their erase head.
WHAT ARE THESE FOR? divination, scoring, feed them to a sampler, etc...
TOOLS USED? TCM-150, TCM-20, M-1110C, TCS-430, to a lesser extent X-15, LYRA-8, and maybe a hint of frogbox!

tape 25 is missing :) and has not been digitized

buzzer sequences	some kinda machine...? i've no clue what this is
crickets and cars
345 manual (a whole train ride)	(almost four minutes) this is a pretty good representation of what's on these tapes. it's just a mess of things i guess. i digitize them and snip out the good parts and put them here. that's it that's tapecanon, demystified.

chimes
little jazz tune	plastic keyboard
chocolate mint	some little tune what ive been playing. while catsitting for a friend. with nice pianos :)
