  • Upcycled Cassette w/Artwork (First Run)
    Cassette + Digital Album

    - These upcycled cassettes are between 32-60 minutes. I record this 32 minute album on a loop, so it will keep playing through the whole cassette. However, on cassettes where the album doesn't fit - secret tracks may be snuck in there ;) tee hee!

    - Artwork and labels for these were designed by yours truly and are printed at a local shop in town on FSC certified paper and with acid free ink.

    - Shipping & Handling includes USPS First Class parcel postage, packaging material, and covers the time spent processing the order by Team MC.

    The idea for upcycled cassettes was born because re-using is more efficient than recycling. Many people like music they can hold in their hands (myself included). The most common forms of music for your hands are CDs and vinyl, however these forms of media must be constructed from new materials. I considered CD-RW's, but I couldn't find a version that was stable. Then I thought...what about cassettes?! People have boxes of them laying around! I used to make mixtapes! I love mixtapes! With a good machine, I can wipe cassettes clean and put new music on there!

    And a final FYI - new music can be recorded onto most cassettes (more info here: www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Record-Cassette-Tapes/). Who knows, maybe someday in the future upcycled cassettes will be all the rage and your little cassette will be considered both very useful and in demand. Enjoy!

  • Original Watercolor Painting "Dance, Dance, Lapsang Souchong" (NOT A VINYL)
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    ** ATTENTION ** This is not a vinyl! The only way to include a pre-order of the album along with this artwork is to call it a vinyl, but it's not! It's an original painting!! Ok, read on:

    ◦ Measures 6" x 9
    ◦ Original art painted on 140 lb watercolor paper
    ◦ I used honey-based M. Graham watercolors (and avoided the heavy metals)
    ◦ No frame included

    Though there's only one, I will be making more paintings and will post them one at a time, so if you're interested and haven't yet - hit the "follow" button to get a heads up when the next painting comes out.

    ◦ Shipping & Handling includes USPS First Class parcel postage, packaging material, and covers the time spent processing the order by Team MC.

  • Original Inked Animation Frame (NOT A VINYL)
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    ** ATTENTION ** This is not a vinyl! The only way to include a pre-order of the album with this order is to call it a vinyl, but it's not! It's an original drawing!! Ok, read on:

    In making the music video clip for "Enough Love" - I made so many drawings! Out of those hundred, I chose my favorite. These are the favorites!

    Hand-drawn and then inked with pen and nib on 20lb paper, these are pieces of some old-school, traditional animation magic. Each sheet is 8.5" x 11".

    Each still is an original. The number on the top left shows which of the 13 stills you received and the number on the top right is the frame number (for animation purposes). Lastly, I initialed the bottom right corner of each onel.

    Shipping & Handling fee includes USPS Large Envelope postage, packaging material, and covers the time spent processing the order by Team MC.

about

Life has major crossroads where we must make a choice:

stay (keep things as they were)
or
move on (allowing change, which is often an unknown).

Change can mean friends fall away, losing a job, a place we called home may no longer feel that way, ideas we have about ourselves are left behind, we could lose "status" or our own identity for a time...the list goes on. But there's a strength to be found in moving towards something your heart tells you is true.

For me, I haven't yet regretted choosing change over staying when those oh so persistent opportunities for change come around. And I like dancing like a cricket on caffeine into the night. This track is for that.
