Tape Archive

In summer 2008, I asked a select group of Sound Sex Project participants living in Montreal if they were interested in receiving a mix tape from me. I proposed that I would make each person a mix tape based on the song they had originally submitted to the project, and/or any other information they had originally submitted to the project. In total, twelve tapes were made and distributed. While I have the original tracklistings scribbled in my notebook, I have never archived them on-line. So here they are.
