Mike’s Home
Here is the new as-yet-untitled summer project:
Make a series of mixtapes and scatter them in completely random places throughout the city. Places like park benches, under chairs in coffee shops, next to trees, taped to dogs, by the sink in the ladies washroom, etc., etc.
Each tape will have a different cover and contain an email address scrawled somewhere inside for tracking purposes. Each tape will also contain a small note that will read something like: "Take me home, listen to me. If you like me, keep me. Make copies for your friends and lovers. Play me at parties and in your car. If you don't like me, please put me back on the street for someone else to find."
The tapes will not, however, contain a tracklist of the songs within. By doing this people will actually have to listen to the whole tape to find out exactly what's on it. If they do want the tracklist all they have to do is send a quick email, and said list will be soon forthcoming.
My goal is to see how far these tapes can actually travel, how many copies will be made and how many people actually get to hear them and hopefully enjoy them.
The first trial tapes are nearly completed and will be distributed over the coming weekend.
My greatest hope is that people enjoy the tapes so much and on so many levels that they keep them close, like on their bedside table. Then, hopefully, the tiny cameras inserted inside each tape will be able to film people having sex.
