Empty Damage by Phil Maguire

Empty Damage A: No-tape cassette and damaged walkman recorded with contact microphones, recorded to a second cassette, which is amplified with contact microphones and coil pickups, and added to the recording.

Empty Damage B: Tape and DSP processed recordings of a damaged tape loop playing in a damaged walkman.

'Embracing low-cost ethics, Phil’s primary instruments range from microcomputers and battered cassette recorders, to open-source software and plundered online audio. His main concerns are investigations of identity and place, via timbral qualities of sounds stumbled upon in day-to-day life: environment, software, internet.'
