There's propably nothing which could go better together than photography and music, except for one thing: Lomography and Mixtapes! Some analogue love for your ears.
Besides photography, what’s the greatest thing in the world to sweeten your day with and to retrieve memories of certain moments and events, no matter how long ago?
Almost needless to say: music of course!
Some tunes stick in our head forever, tons of lyrics congest precious capacities of our brain and bring back emotions, places, situations and smells within seconds.
Today, everyone has dozens of gigabytes of digital music files on their hard discs and music players, sorted by artist or in randomly generated playlists.
But there is still this weird lovable type of folk calling themselves “analogue lovers”, who prefer compiling music the “High Fidelity” way. That is corresponding to shoot on film, recording on good old analogue tape with two sides and all tangled-up instead of burning CDs, swapping sticks or zip files.
A mixtape for all analogue lovers:
