Musician Laurie Anderson has a spin on reusing magnetic tape to create new sounds. She created a violin bow strung with audio tape instead of horse hair.
By drawing the bow across the violin strings, she can play the sound captured on the section of tape backwards and forwards.
Laurie Anderson repurposed a section of tape to say a phrase in Dutch when drawn forwards across the strings. By pulling the bow back, the phrase is played backwards, sounding out a phrase in English. What an inventive way to repurpose not only an old audio tape, but also sound itself!
