Music For Real Airports by The Black Dog
Music for Real Airports is a multimedia art project by musicians The Black Dog and interactive artists Human which is presented in art galleries. It is also a new album of music by the Black Dog.

The album is a bittersweet, enveloping and enormously engaging listen. It is ambient, but focused. This is not sonic mush, nor adolescent noise. Nor is it a dance album. Much of the raw material of the album was made in airports over the last three years. While on tour, the Black Dog made 200 hours of field recordings, much of which was processed and combined with new music in the airport itself, waiting for the next flight. This vast amount of content has been slowly distilled into a set of particularly evocative pieces of music.
RA News: Dadahack debut with TAP3
The album is as much a musical effort as it is a playful comment on technological advancement. In addition to being available for digital download, TAP3 is, as its name suggests, a cassette tape, but by no means a normal one–it also functions as a digital music player, so listeners can simply plug in their headphones and hear the album. This unusual presentation is meant to both embrace and reject the digital era, harking back to a time when music was confined to a physical existence within a hand-held product.
ok, this alone makes me want to buy it already, like a small art piece. i’m still looking for my original issue FM3 buddha machine in my mass of possessions.
