tape tree!

[Misdemonar]

Aw, I wanted to join. What is a tape tree?

[Dole]

One C60 cassette is circulated within the group - the object is to fit as many songs on the tape as possible, before sending it on to the second person.
The second person has to manually remove 2 minutes of the tape (the actual, physical tape itself) but re-dub the same track list on to the tape - removing only those parts of each song that are considered superfluous, and do not compromise any of the main, most memorable significant parts or themes of each song.

Once this is done, its passed onto the next person, and they then remove another two minutes, and so on and so on. The tape originally ends up with the person who created it, and they have to judge whether this highly edited version has compromised the spirit of any of the songs in their now highly-edited form.

If they judge it to be a success, ANOTHER, new compilation is started, circulated and gradually edited. The object is to ultimately fit as many entire compilations on to one cassette as possible. On the last one, we managed to fit 14 edited, 30-ish song compilations onto ONE C60 tape- it has to be heard to be believed, its fucking amazing.

do we have a total on the amount of mixes we need to burn yet? whats the total number of people who are in?

[Black Flag]

Nine and Ten(counting chojin and mle as one)

[Black Flag]

also i've received no emails so i assume everybody got mine and everything is going swimmingly!

[Ihach]

things are going great buddy!

[sadie]

sorry to have to drop out at this late date; however, my pc is down, my laptop has no writable drive, and now my school computer's drive is stuck. there's no telling how long it will take the it people to fix it. and we've got a newspaper deadline coming up. i just don't have time to make other arrangements. sorry again.

[Chojin]

blackflag when is the deadline

most of my music is on a disconnected hard drive so i would like to procrastinate as much as possible in hooking that sucka up again.

[Rez]

i've got mine done!

it's like 4 minimixes in one. 79:57
hahaha, i'm arrogant.

deadline's the uhh.. 13th?

oh shit, i need to burn them all...
and send it.
and make the artwork for it



i'm not done yet and it's the 9th!

[iron mitchell]

i've been sick, but i did get around to picking out a bunch of songs for it. to be honest, it's probably going to end up being 2 cdr's, but i'll package it in a manner that won't be much, if any, more costly than just sending a jewel case.
if all goes as planned i'll have the track order figured out tomorrow and then will take care of packaging on saturday and sunday.
i hope my mix makes everyone who hears it as miserable as me.

the 13th.. this is kinda flexible but if i don't have your mixes by the 20th your ass is grass


sadie- i don't know if it'd enable you to stay in but if you had the time/means to make just one mix i can make duplicates of it like i'm doing for glowbelly

you had better not have any standards for me, mister. \
i'm making you listen to junior senior :mad

wait, we arent mass producing one mix? i thought we were...

[Ninjavenom]

I was wondering about that too. Are we all making individual mixes and just mailing them to you?

[Dole]

yes.

[Rez]

i though for a sec i was making individual mixes for each of you.




i'm not thick, it's all your faults.

[glowbelly]

[Black Flag]
