Made by Sonic Fabric (Alyce Santoro) the neckties are a limited-edition project made in collaboration with New York designer Julio Cesar, the Recycled Cassette Tape necktie is made from 50% recorded audio cassette tape and 50% coloured thread, and will actually play audio when a tape-head is run over it.

Santoro says:

The idea behind the tie is that the wearer becomes a beacon for other-dimensional, intangible, subtle forces of good…much in the manner of a superhero. only this part of the superhero garb can be worn on the outside in the most conservative environment without detection!

The sound collages recorded onto the tape for this batch of ties comes from my cd between stations, and is based on looped and layered samples collected on and under the streets of nyc.

The ties come in three colors: black (woven with black thread and black tape), dark brown (brown tape, black thread), and light grey (grey thread, black tape). this one is BROWN. Each comes packaged with a descriptive label.

Sonic Fabric ties are available here.
