Local thrift store in the Chicago suburbs. I’m sure somebody enjoys Wiener Bonbon music.

On Mixtapes.

I miss mixtapes.

So much so that I’m writing about them despite the fact that my 1999 birth year has me placed in the liminal space where technology was making rapid waves and mixtapes were steadily on their way out. I didn’t really grow up with mixtapes. I grew up around mixtapes. I didn’t have to be taught what they were, I grew up just knowing about them. Maybe it was because mixtapes were entrenched in the media I consumed?

I still remember that FRIENDS episode where Chandler cheats and gives Monica a mixtape he found for Valentine’s Day.

And maybe that’s what I miss. I miss what they represented; a tangible object that you could literally gift someone. A mixtape was something you made for one specific person, one specific purpose. You internally sifted through your mental catalogue of all the music you knew and came up with a select list of songs you wished to dedicate to a person. You gave them the gift of music. In a carefully construed track list of your own making which may or may not include your own additions of small voice notes explaining why you chose each song as you did.

No, technology has taken that away. All we are left with is fucking Spotify playlists.

Don’t get me wrong, though, the culture of Spotify playlists is a whole other thing to be examined and it has its points. However, they don’t replace mixtapes. You made a playlist for someone and what? It took you a few songs, just dragged some songs across you laptop, tapped on their icon on your phone. Maybe even went to Pinterest to add a cover photo. Maybe.

I’ve made many playlists for many people. I’ve also made a few mixtapes for a few people. I can tell you exactly why I made each mixtape and who they were for and why I chose those songs and what the person meant to me at the time - that, yes, they were worth the three hours it took to download songs and transfer them via CD extension reader because my 2018 MacBook doesn’t read discs anymore.

Not to sound too ancient, but I do lament the loss of permanence technology has brought us.

There, of course, isn’t really anything to do with this. Playlists have taken over and have become an art form in their own right. And that’s not a bad thing. Maybe the fact that the process of exchanging music has become so casual is something to be celebrated. Maybe I’m just a music snob complaining about being born in the wrong time.

Maybe.

ABACUSYNTH by ELIAS JARZOMBEK [2022]

Abacusynth is a synthesizer inspired by an abacus, the ancient counting tool used all around the world. Just like an abacus is used to learn the fundamentals of math, the Abacusynth can be used to explore the building blocks of audio synthesis.
