|
|
|
<p>On the <a href="28th of October, 2016 A.D.">http://youtu.be/Boc7GZ86Qag”</a>,
|
|
I bought <a href="http://litherecords.bandcamp.com/album/lithe001-qu-sub-shaman-ilm-split-ep">a cassette tape</a>
|
|
at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/litheparalogue">Lithe House</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
On the evening of the same day, as I distractedly looked at the cassette
|
|
tape, on the bus home, wondering if the cassette deck at my house was still
|
|
functional, I looked up to see a stranger smiling at me.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
He and I exchanged a few glances. Later, he invited me to his house.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Another evening, at his house, he passed a few more cassette tapes to me.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Will someone value the cassette tapes more than I do?
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Out of curiosity, I am experimenting with a swap to see what value cassette tapes
|
|
have in a world where technology changes. There will be no money involved.
|
|
What would people offer in exchange for these tapes?
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I didn't want to swap, until the cassette tapes started to gather dust
|
|
at my father's house. Will there be a better use for them?
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This effort will last for forty-five days, beginning from 9th November,
|
|
2016 A.D.
