For more cassette fun (with the last link included), I've gathered together some interesting and/or weird design archives and adverts to peruse. There's also a long read on how to make strange tape loops. ♾️ #Design #Type #Archive #Cassette #Cassettes #Tape #Tapes #TapeLoops #DesignArchive #Visual #TapeArt #Art #CommunicationDesign #Walkman #OldTech https://robertafidora.com/blogs/general-news/posts/7100253/rewinding-cassettes-a-tape-miscellany

On the subject of that last @transdiffusion article, I once tasked myself with making a Photoshop animation based on a BBC2 station clock from the 70s. There was probably an easier way of doing it, but it didn't reveal itself at the time. 🕙

It’s a beautiful and heartfelt rendition too, I think you’ll agree. 🥚

I don't think I fully understood its purpose at first, but more and more, I find myself linking to the Wayback Machine because it's the only place where there's a record of certain music blogs existing, which in turn, is evidence of all the venues we've lost, bands that have splintered into other things, great things, no things or into weird solo projects and I guess generally how much the landscape has changed for musicians.#Music #Musodon #Musicians #SocialMedia #Archives #History #Histodon

@kura @internetarchive @matthartley Very true. And I think the MySpace decline was the first big one for me to highlight that ephemeral nature. Mainly because it involved the loss of music of someone who is no longer with us. I wish it had been archived.

"Sure, Spotify might be paying artists fractions of a penny per stream, and its CEO Daniel Ek might be rounding up hundreds of billions of euros in investments for an arms company that he’s also the chairman of, but how many people are willing to cancel their subscriptions as a result? Not many.”https://firstfloor.substack.com/p/everyone-says-they-want-independent#Spotify #Culture #Independent #Music

@defaultmediatransmitter It's got all the bells (telephone bells) and (ghost) whistles. Should link up all fellow budget Yamaha owners and start a PSS Orchestra! :blobwizard:

@mistfunk @littlebitspace Don't suppose you or anyone you know wants to send in some stuff (even if it's just short loops) for this?https://robertafidora.com/animation-array

One of the best arguments for the open social web I've seen, without perhaps intending to be.https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2026/apr/15/viral-artists-social-media-videos-stewart-lee-werner-herzog#SocialMedia #Fediverse #SocialWeb

Last call for animators and puppeteers for the next #AnimationArray episode! I’ve got space for one or two more things (under 4 mins). Who’s going to send something in then? 🎬https://robertafidora.com/animation-array#about-and-submissions#Animated #Animation #Puppet #Puppets #Film #ShortFilm #ShortFilms #StopMotion #Animator #3D #2D #MotionGraphics #Shorts #Animator #Art #Animators #Claymation #Collage #CollageArt
