Sound and Music

Created by Felicity Ford, the first episode in the the Cut and Splice Podcast Series features interviews with Mark Vernon, Bob Levene, Rachael Matthews, Lloyd Dunn, Joyoti Wylie, Joceline Colvert and the Sticks and String knitting group. The emphasis throughout is on what tape means, what it says, what its history is, how artists use and relate to tape, how tape behaves materially, sonically and imaginatively, and why tape is important in terms of The Domestic Soundscape.
