Carla Boregas - Absência Tape - CASS

Carla Boregas is a Brazilian musician, composer and sound artist. By merging synthetic and acoustic instrumentation and techniques, Boregas builds up sonic scenarios driven by an invisible force, where the sensation of presence and discovery lies between density and delicacy. Her work spans composition, improvisation, performance, sound installation and radio art, and aims to transport the listener to different subjective perspectives of time and space, to invoke memories and to reflect about the nature-human relation. Carla Boregas writes: “Using a Tascam Portastudio 4-track cassette recorder, I invited three musicians to improvise alone with the sound recording of the sea that I did in Massaguaçu, the place where I used to live in Brasil. The recorder that I used had a defect in one of its tracks, therefore I could only invite two musicians – Vinicius Cajado (double bass) and Réka Csiszér (cello), plus the sea in another track. While listening to the tracks

The recorder that I used had a defect in one of its tracks, therefore I could only invite two musicians – Vinicius Cajado (double bass) and Réka Csiszér (cello), plus the sea in another track. While listening to the tracks together, I felt a deep sense of absence (“ausência” in Portuguese). Perhaps due to their sonorous answers surrounded by the tape hiss? Because that’s one of the symbolic meanings of the ocean? Maybe “saudades do mar, de estar ao seu outro lado”? Who knows – listening can be something very mysterious. Afterwards I played with and interweaved them all: the sonorous sea, Vinicius Cajado, Réka Csiszér and the absence - “Absência Tape” is the final result.” – Carla Boregas, Berlin, 8 August 2024.

We Use Stock Images
Because we have over 2 million items for sale we have to use stock images, this listing does not include the actual image of the item for sale. The purchase of this specific item is made with the understanding that the image shown in this listing is a stock image and not the actual item for sale. For example: some of our stock images include stickers, labels, price tags, hyper stickers, obi's, promotional messages, signatures and or writing which may not be available in the actual item.

Unless a new release, cassette tapes are generally very old, a product typically of the 80s.  Tapes can look great, but we cannot guarantee the quality of the sound, speed or any distortions as age and time are not the best friends for tape cassettes.  For this reason, if any of the cassettes are pre-2000 they are sold as/is based on a visual appearance.


The Sleeve
When we describe the sleeve we are describing the printed paper cover or booklet that is included inside the case.  The case is not part of the sleeve.
 

Cassettes Version
Cassettes are released in many editions and variations, such as standard edition, re-issue, demonstration (demo), not for sale, promotional (promo), special edition, limited edition, and many other editions and versions.  The cassettes you receive could be any of these editions or variations. If you are looking for a specific edition or version please contact us to verify what we are selling before you buy it.

This Cassette Inner and Outer Sleeve
For this specific sale, the cassette sleeve condition refers only to the inner paper insert sleeve and does not refer to the outer casing. While we ship all items with some outer casing for this specific sale we are selling only the inner paper sleeve and cassettes only, as specifically outlined in the description of this listing. (we make this disclaimer as some collectors are looking for a specific outer case type). The outer casing is replaceable and has no value and is provided within this sale as packaging only. We make this disclaimer as the outside sleeve casing can be damaged or scratched, and for this reason, the outer casing is not offered as part of this sale as the Buyer can easily replace the outer casings for the inner sleeve and cassettes.
