Neckties and Textiles Made From Recycled Cassette Tapes, Sounds Dope!

I thought you might find this one pretty interesting. Sonic Fabric has created textiles made out of recycled cassette tapes.
Sonic fabric emits sound when you run a tape head (the little thingy inside the tape deck that touches the tape) over it. Because the tape retains its magnetic quality through the weaving process, it acts as a big wide band of tape.

They had no idea when they first conceived of this project that the fabric would be "listenable"... the point for them was just to get as many of of their all-time favorite sounds onto the recording. So Sonic Fabric made a collage of layered samples from their collection using an analog 4-track recorder. When you run the tape head over the fabric you are reading 4 or 5 strands of tape at once ... in other words, 16 or 20 tracks all mixed together.
It sounds kind of like scratching a record backwards or radio static.
