After mulling over it for a few weeks, I am still obsessed w\/cassette tapes. Here is fun link on cassette tape culture<\/a>. It isn’t really related to something I want to do for this project, but I thought it was kind of cool.<\/p>\n

So I finally decided on combining my obsession with cassette tapes with something more related to technology. I found a cool project called Signal to Noise<\/a>\u00a0that is a newer version in the realm of Nam June Paik<\/a>. For my interpretation of these awesome works, I would like to make an analog tape playing guitar. Here are my materials:<\/p>\n

Paper Jamz Guitar Style 10<\/a> (found for free on Craigslist)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Olympus CTR 112 Cassette Recorder (donated from my aunt)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All 4 One Single of “I Swear<\/a>” found at Goodwill. There is also another tape from the 69 Boyz I had as my backup plan, this was also found at Goodwill.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The deconstruction & confusion begins:<\/p>\n

I wasn’t originally going to take apart the guitar, I was just going to make it a base for my cassette tape. But once I opened it up, I couldn’t resist trying to make the entire functionality of the project in the guitar. Alas, my electronic skills were not up to par. Larry kindly intervened.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And after much back and forth, soldering & connecting…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

still nothing worked…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

BOOOOOOOOO!<\/p>\n

I need another cassette player so I can try again. I think I took apart too much of the recorder initially to know enough of what was going on anymore, hence Larry’s intervention. But I might’ve destroyed it too much to be salvaged. I do plan on getting it working, it just might not happen before the semester is over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
