The aRCHIVES
secret black box 6CDR set.. Ok this is where it all started.. I recieved a recording from a certian japanese artist from a live concert in Tokyo that endured for 7 full hours with no breaks or intermission. Completely absurd i thought to myself, i must do something to properly honor this amazing feat of music. Goal was to make 20 of these sets.. (althought to date only 6 have been completed) all boxes were given away since i’ve never recieved artist permission to make these. (joint venture with Tequlia Sunrise) hand made chipboard boxes, covered in black bookbinding fabric, 6disc set.. black on black CDR’s all handstamped with latex paint to give an embossed look. Each disc comes housed in a black linen paper envelope also hand stamped on the front with the Kanji for the artist, the rear is stamped for the disc number. Outside of the box has attached an OBI strip made from black 80# linen paper with black printing. inside is the only non black element a glossy photo card with a full view photograph of the stage for this event, also contains recording details. The entire 7 hours of audio was also painfully mastered by a certian kind co-conspirator who was respectful of the project.. I’ve had lots of inquiries from folks about the boxes and to date no plans to make make these in an official compacity.
