“Master Tapes”: ink, art journal
I’m getting to the stage in my packing for my move where I have to make some difficult decisions (or else defer the decisions yet again and just pack and store the stuff). One such decision: what to do with the master tapes from my 1994 CD “On the Dream Road”? I have kept them all these years, through the demise of cassette tapes and now the near-demise of CDs. My album is now available on Spotify and iTunes, so another decision is what to do with the few hundred CDs I still have left. Years ago a few hundred cassette copies went into the dumpster. Will the CDs end up there too?
The master tapes can be reused, so I have put an ad on Kijiji. We’ll see if there are any old-school recording engineers out there looking for a bargain. Meanwhile, I have commemorated them with this drawing. (It’s a bit out of proportion, because I’m out of practice!)
