Cassette Album by Salomé Voegelin (tape score compilation)

"Magnetic Tape is able to record, store and playback audio recordings

It enables repetition and the capturing of time in a sonic shape

It frees listening from the confines of chronology and thus of history

and creates a sonic pluriverse

where everything can be played at once, again and again

sounding between the familiar and the unfamiliar

the particular darkness of the human heart and the peculiar density which surrounds everything that is real

Thus giving access to time’s plasticity that does not follow itself

but generates unexpected shapes

These are not permanent however, but deteriorate over time

due to fragility and stickiness which renders the recording unusable"

-- Salomé Voegelin

Salomé Voegelin is an artist and writer engaged in listening and sound making as a socio-political practice. She works from the relational logic of sound to focus on the in-between and the liminal, to imagine the world from its indivisibility. Voegelin writes articles and papers, books, texts and text-scores for performance and publication: Her most recent book Uncurating Sound: Knowledge with Voice and Hands (2023) reconsiders art as political not in its message or aim, but by the way it confronts the institution; and her Album Paint your lips while singing your favourite pop song, a compilation of eight responses to her text-scores, was released by Flaming Pines in 2022. www.salomevoegelin.net
