ZXZW 2007 artist Wouter van Veldhoven wants YOUR cassette players! Here’s a little message from him:

Hello all,

For nearly 5 years I have been travelling in and out of the Netherlands with my old, heavy, reel to reel taperecorders to entertain/bore people with the sound of tape-hiss, tape-compression, tape-feedback and toy-instruments (for an overview, see www.woutervanveldhoven.nl).

However with
A) the upcoming  31th birthday of the cassette walkman (and the growing concern that it is going to be forgotten),
B) an ever growing pain in my back and
C) a high level of angry looks and remarks in the train,
the time has come to make the transition to this light weighted marvel of ancient technology.

I’m looking for anybody that still has old cassette walkmans (and other light weight cassette players/recorders) and is willing to give/sell them to me. Please contact me at info@woutervanveldhoven.nl if you can help me. Of course I’ll pay for all the transportation costs.

All the best!

Wouter van Veldhoven
