made a boombox from old cassettes because I was about to make it from cardboard but thought, “well wait, why cardboard?” I thought I’d look for old Sony or Yamaha boxes to work from. Then I thought about making the thing from the things that the thing was designed for. And that felt right
details of a boombox I made with old cassette tapes, with a “deck” to hold a real one
an altar to the gods of ancient music media
effectively done with this puppy. Gonna go have it installed @cannonballarts in downtown Seattle then try to have it installed as part of the big solo I’m working on @vashoncenter this coming November
almost done with this, basically finished the construction. Just gonna add some bells & whistles
painted the handle & blocking out some black behind where the speakers will be. Making a whole new layer of tapes for each speaker face
first pass of paint, about to paint the handle black, then work on the speakers
cut thin strips of cassette to line the handle, masking out some seams, juuuuust about to paint this
No detail on this yet, and I’ll paint the whole thing silver and black. Just amassing the cassette faces. Dismantled probably 200 old tapes, gonna use some of the guts as buttons
