I grew up with record albums as that medium was dying. My first ever record album I owned was Men At Work. Sigh. Cassettes were a deep part of my generation — they offered me my first taste of audio engineering, because a record button existed on every standard cassette player. I had lots of mix tapes. I very much indeed would sit up late at night and listen on the FM band of my radio for the good stuff, trying desperately to hit record as the first beat hit the speakers (even though the DJ would be stepping all over it), more often than not stopping and rewinding (because I had mistakenly recorded the wrong song) in order to cue the successful recording of the correct song in the queue after the other 6 important songs that week. Wow, that was a lot of fun. A whole cassette of great music from different artists was a thing of aural beauty, but it was also a sort of achievement — a testimony of dedication to the music I loved. It probably would be outlawed if they tried it as a new concept today.
This cassette was created mostly with the rectangle tool and the node tool, some gradients, and the text tool. I don’t really have any around, and I decided like other drawings I’ve done here to do it from memory. Thanks for stopping by!
