05/02/2003 12h40 Pontoise - rue du Général Schmitz

Behind the Science & Technology faculty building of the University Cergy-Pontoise, the rue du Général Schmitz leads to a piece of wasteland, where I picked up this piece of cassette tape, heavily covered with mud. It broke down in many smaller pieces, that I tried to clean as well as possible.
The music on it is classical, most (all?) from Mozart's Die Zauberflöte.

04/30/2003 9h45 Vincennes - avenue de Paris, near the entrance to metro station Bérault

A small piece of old reel-to-reel tape, on a small plastic reel. There was nothing on it but the noise. I scanned the tape. The picture is on the exhibition's index page.

04/29/2003 12h30/13h00 Pontoise - avenue Adolphe Chauvin

Starting my lunch stroll, I found a first part of this tape on the parking lot of the Science & Technology faculty. Half an hour later, when returning, I picked up the rest of it, carefully wrapped around a tree on the pavement, some hundred meters from where I found the first part. Indeed these turned out to be from the same cassette. It contained the recording of Gershwin's Porgy & Bess, performed by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, originally recorded in 1957, and released on Verve Records.

In an email message dated August 1st, 2004, and signed 'Chelsea', Mtndew131 identified #44 as being part of the Hanson song 'Where's the love', from the album Middle of nowhere (1997).

"Strands can be found all over the world, in gutters, snagged on trees, wherever tape players have ventured it seems they have chewed, snarled and spat too." -- Visit Zoë Irvine's Magnetic Migration Music site.
