*93 copies limited edition* Giancarlo Drago's The Tapes project unearths Nastri Dimenticati ("Forgotten Tapes"), a collection that bridges the project's original 1982-1992 incarnation with its 2016 revival. These rediscovered recordings showcase the raw experimentalism that defined Drago's teenage years, when toy instruments and primitive recording techniques created accidental masterpieces.

The cassette format returns these sounds to their original medium, emphasizing the materiality of magnetic tape that gives the project its name. Each track carries the patina of time, with degradation becoming another compositional element. The result is archaeology through sound, where forgotten experiments resurface with renewed relevance for contemporary ears.
