100 Cassettes - Paperback

by Dennis Callaci (Author)

Dennis Callaci's 100 Cassettes started life as an installation of 100 hand drawn/painted cassette covers for an installation at the dA Center for The Arts in Pomona, California. Six months after that installation, the book 100 Cassettes started being written in earnest. The book's ninety nine chapters (two of the cassettes make up one chapter) delve into the possibility of each imagined release by a wealth of artists spanning over fifty years. Find early entries of abstraction on Ida Cox, Alice Cooper, Talk Talk, Earl Sweatshirt and Lord Invader to nonfiction-based entries on Tony Conrad, Korla Pandit, Jackie Moore and Black Sabbath. The book winds around autobiographical information, the rich culture of Southern California from 1969 to the present day, and all musical points in between.
