about

This cassette tape is a collaboration between Unheard Records and Cult Love Sound Tapes (Tulsa, OK), bringing together Mina Kim (Seoul) and Natty Gray (Tulsa) in a split tape which considers the sonification and amplifications of object-beings both massive and hand-held in scale, from a highway to a motherboard. This tape listens deeply into the previously unheard voices of human and nonhuman communities.

Side A: Mina Kim - Unstable Play (17:35)

(WeSA Festival 2019 live ver. hosted by WeSA Studio)
Unstable Play’ is an audiovisual performance that consists of e-waste analog synthesizers. The e-waste instruments can sound subtle and rough hence, unstable. While playing with this instability, Mina dedicates her performance to all the Wasted electronics and beings


Side B: Natty Gray - Tulsa Sound (13:55)

Digitized cassette recording of the 5/8/21 sound installation, "Tulsa Sound", for the Cycling The GAP: Infrastructure Ride. Using contact microphones on the underpass, the vibrations and sounds of the 244 highway on Boulder Avenue in downtown Tulsa were amplified to highlight socioeconomic disparity brought about by city infrastructure. The installation asks the questions, what has the Tulsa Sound been towards the citizens of Tulsa? And how has it differed between communities? What comes to mind when one hears the expression “Tulsa Sound” and why?
