"as if N's sustained guitar had been mangled through a computer by some strange wizard. but in fact all you can hear happened in real time..." - lim. 100 copies only !! Price (incl. 19% VAT): €32.00 More Info TAPE MEASURE KID is the new live-playing duo of N, amps + guitar, and Jim Campbell (aka the preterite, www.the-preterite.com), lofi samplers, modified analog 4-track recorder and effects. On their double debut releases “Ours Is A Stubborn Monster” and “Zero Is An Even Number” they expand N's drone / ambient style to something that is at the same time drone and beyond drone, including a sort of dark and sometimes weird improv tendency. very unique and for some of you maybe as if N's sustained guitar had been mangled through a computer by some strange wizard. but in fact all you can hear happened in real time, with a cable feeding the guitar signal to jim's cassette scratch orchestra, with the possibility of real-time manipulation while playing, cutting loose from boundaries. Both records show this special live-appeal of TAPE MEASURE KID, with the live-in-studio material on the vinyl part and the live-on-stage cuts on the CD part of both releases. Thick covers printed on rough cardboard, 180g black vinyl, CD contains bonus material, strictly limited to 100 pieces. https://n1511.bandcamp.com/album/tape-measure-kid-zero-is-an-even-number
