about

more samples and loops sourced from thrift store tapes

friperietronics vol. 1 was released in early 2020, following a live performance in 2019 consisting entirely of cassette tapes I'd purchased at thrift stores and charity shops, or friperies as they're known in Quebec. I'd been working with live tape mixes for years, and imagined this series as an opportunity to present some of that work, which explores the limitations and affordance of cassettes.

Since I often don't know what exactly is on a given tape, and since I don't monitor as I'm mixing, I've come to regard the process of live tape mixing as a form of improvisation, in dialogue with my tapes and equipment.

I had intended to do a second installment much sooner, and began seriously thinking about it in summer 2022, when I moved into my current studio space, and while I began listening to my tape archive for potential inclusion, the gestation period took longer than I'd planned.

We hosted an open studio event at our studio space on 25 november, the live recording of which is presented here as B1 (just as a 2019 live performance was B1 on vol 1). On 27 november I recorded additional material in the studio, with some tapes I've had in mind but also with some random surprises. The results were edited and rearranged, in some cases, and in others hardly touched at all. Two bonus tracks are included here, again mirroring the structure of volume 1.

What sets this installment apart from the first volume is that I draw not only from my collection of thrift store tapes but also on my personal tape archive (cassettes recorded in my home studio mostly resulting from informal jams), granting some tonal and rhythmic glue to the proceedings.

spiritual guides: Esther Bourdages, GENG PTP, Jason Lescalleet, Aki Onda
