11.5.13: RRR Tape Cube

tapecubebig

We posted a feature last month about RRR looking into donating it’s “humungous” noise collection to a museum or university. Since then, Ron Lessard has been posting pictures to his Facebook page from the collection, most of which we’ve been archiving in our original posts. Some Merzbow here, some Whitehouse there. It was a nice and interesting time checking out the pics. But today Ron dropped a bomb. Something that deserved a feature all of it’s own.  Ron’s cassette collection stacked into a giant Hellraiser-esque block that we here at Tabs Out are dubbing the “Tape Cube”! Seriously, this thing is mind blowing.

How many cassettes make up the Tape Cube?!? Who knows. 10,000? More?? We would also love to know what is in the exact center of the Tape Cube. Can it be rented out as a living space, and if so, what is the rent? Are pets allowed?

I do know if Ron keeps this monster assembled I might plan on taking a trip up to Lowell, MA to check it out. I hear it’s beautiful there this time of year. Here are some pictures of Tape Cube in all it’s glory. Bask in it’s warming analog glow!
