a project about love recorded between 2021 and 2023, across continents and through self iterations. not about tape but about the reflections and edges of mediation. not about shame but its formal shaping. not about fidelity but miscommunication of original through copy. not about looping, canon, delay but the material and vacuum of cycles. and about all that it’s not.

“Rather than the ghost in the shell, this record is about the heart in the tape shell. The inner workings of the machine are a beating heart.”
