New in the annals of unique tributes to our ancestors, ‘Grandma Tapes’ sets a deceased grandmother’s love for Romantic music to an EP of sliced and diced craziness. When grandma Celia died in 2011, artist Ink Jet decided the best way to commemorate her love for music was to set her record collection to a dance-ready treatment of sample altering madness. Every sound you hear was lifted directly from the original Classical LPs (though the sources are not revealed), and shifted around through electronic programming.
What could sound like a self-indulgent piece of individual art, instead comes across as highly sensitive, with a global reach to anyone who’s lost a loved one. View the video to ‘A Canal’s Timeliness’ here. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
