Released here in its originally conceived form as an audio visual work on VHS. Each tape was taken from my childhood home and selected specifically for its personal meaning to me, and then the album was recorded on to that tape. The original media on each tape peeks through around every piece; this combines with varying age, brand, and wear of the original tapes to create 12 unique variations of the album. A purchase includes 1 of these 12 tapes, chosen more or less randomly.

Please only purchase one tape <3

Includes unlimited streaming of beginnings are endings are via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

A missive to myself when I gave up. A reflection on the beginnings and endings in my own life and how one is often the other in some way. An attempt to understand personal experiences and feelings through the lens of video games that have impacted me.

Each piece was created using (sampling?) the music, audio, and video of a video game.

dedicated to my late father
