DV Cassette Club

While teaching art courses at the Ohio State University, I was always hesitant to respond to my students’ requests to see my work. On the one hand, they might be impressed, thus lending more authenticity to whatever I was spouting from the front of the class. On the other hand, they may end up thinking less of me and completely discounting whatever I say.

For the sake of of full disclosure, I admit that I started DV Cassette Club. That being said, I hope that after listening to these MP3s, my future recommendations won’t end up being taken with a large grain of salt.

DV Cassette Club started as an experiment in very amateur, low budget recording. Toy keyboards and a bass guitar (that used to back up the Osmonds, cross my heart) are recorded using Garage Band and that’s about it. DV Cassette Club works within the restraints of the limited software and availability of instruments to see what can come of it.

The DVCC recently started a page on MySpace.com since we’re too stingy to pay for server space (all part of the low budget ethos). There are four tracks available for download or stream. Check it out and share the love.
