It ’s laborious to remember a fourth dimension where our musical picks were n’t contained in a Spotify play list . But just a few years ago , we were still preserving our audio masterpiece on cassette tapes.Tapedeck.orgis a project of a German graffiti creative person namedNeck , who has been collect prototype of these analog gem from another era .
According the site , the cassette tape was first launch by Philips in 1963 , branded as a “ compact cassette ” made for family recordings . The magnetic mag tape case in plastic was seen as an early alternative to vinyl ; it even had two sides , just like a record . Although tapes became more pop with the initiation of portable music players like the Walkman , the format was not designed for medicine so the levelheaded quality was n’t peculiarly respectable — until the invention of Dolby ’s haphazardness - reduce technology , which is why you ’ll see plenty of Dolby Son on belated tape measure designs .
The collection sport hundreds of brands , from early models made in Germany where the first cassette tapes were mass - produced , to the last mainstream gasps of the engineering science in the nineties ( but you’re able to still buy them ) . What ’s also beautiful is watching how so many of the tech giant star today got their jump slinging chrome - coat tape .

The literal finds in the Tapedeck.org collection , of course , are when you stumble upon tape with writing on them :
Gerry Rafferty RIP !
