about

I Was Listening To Tapes In Tokyo is a duo formed by Matteo Giai (double bass, pedals) and Francesco Ameglio, aka Guybrush (electronics and tapes).

Two long-standing friends bored by the monotonous treadmill of a cold city located in the north west of Italy who found themselves in a small room with a lot of amplifiers.

Technically speaking the project is mainly based on a massive use of looping tapes and amplified double bass One shot, one take, almost no overdubbing. Fleeting tracks made by fragments of movies, readings, dialogues stolen from animes, field recordings gently resting on repetitive, textural, and melodically double bass patterns.

Everything is floating, sounds are still hanging somewhere in those improvised sessions.

I Was Listening To Tapes in Tokyo is the soundscape of the dream where you see yourself walking on the street at night with no precise destination, wrapped in the fog and just a few neon lights in the distance.

--- THE CASSINGLE SERIES ---

30 Artists. 30 cassette singles with an intentional, conceptual limitation of around 2m30s per track. Exclusive B-sides. Individual artworks. Merely 10 hand-dubbed copies per tape will go on sale. Eventually, all tracks will be released on a compilation, planned for late 2021. That's the SPT Cassingle series in a nutshell.

++ OVERSEAS SHIPPING IN PANDEMIC TIMES ++

Currently, shipping to all countries in the EU works quite well, with average delivery times around 5-10 work days (within Germany usually 2 days).

However, overseas shipping to e.g. the United States, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc. takes much longer than before. We've experienced that shipping e.g. to the US in pandemic times can take up to six or even seven weeks, the good news being that so far no shipment was lost. When in doubt, please ask before placing an order, we'll reply asap. All purchases will be shipped not later than 4 days after the order has been placed.
