ART WITHOUT AUDIENCE
There is no art more pure than art made without an audience. Does not having an audience for our art make it worse? No, ya goof! It keeps it purse, unadulterated by the pesky striving for appeal and acceptance. But, don’t think we’re making avant-garde stuff, it’s not!
The Tape Lab Method
How does Tape Lab release so much music so quickly? GREAT QUESTION!

New from Tape Lab & Brillman
After a rather long winter break Tape Lab & Brillman are back on track!
The creative juices from New York and “outside Oslo” are once again flowing:) The process of choosing between many different songs/jams/tracks/ideas can be a slow, laborious task but someone’s gotta do it! Through weeks/even months of trial & error serendipity (once again) saved the day. A guitar take by Brillman from 2008 was forged with that fine Tape Lab release called “Hyper Cerebral” to make a happy jazz-house mix (128 bpm) that is 12:45 minutes long:) Nuff said; enjoy!
