All Tiny Creatures: Cassette collage memories
Generally when Wisconsin’s All Tiny Creatures goes out on tour, band member Andrew Fitzpatrick carries around an old Sony handheld cassette recorder, tapes a bunch of random phenomena then edits the best of it into a sort of abstract personal memento of the experience. Says Fitzpatrick, “I managed to capture about three hours worth of material over the course of 14 days, which I then edited down to about 14 minutes. The process of editing the material is rewarding; it enhances my memories of the trip, and it’s an interesting way to construct a new narrative of sorts.” Makes for good listening, says I.
