For this 4th TANDEM, we're glad to present you two musicians and sound explorers from Mexico. Their universes, filled with similarities and artistic connections, succeed in building digital realms with great precision and creativity.
Each cassette will have a unique and special artwork, made with paper collages, varnish and nail polish. Tapes are grey and made from recycled materials.
