Sonic Fabric is a textile woven from 50% recycled, recorded audiocassette tape and 50% cotton. The material retains its magnetism, and pieces made from it can be “listened to” by dragging an apparatus made from a tape head along its surface. Sonic Fabric was inspired by small strands of cassette tape used as wind indicators, or “tell-tails”, on sailboats, and by Tibetan prayer flags inscribed with wind-activated blessings. The batch of sonic fabric used in the pieces for the Seamless show was prerecorded with The Sounds of (1/2)Life, a layered collage of sounds and music, including Beethoven, Jack Kerouac, Laurie Anderson, crickets, whales, and the icaros (medicine songs) of a Peruvian shaman.
