Cassette Memories is a musical performance, or a ritual, which conjures up the general essence of memory by playing his own personal memories. It is a spectacle which is Music for the Eyes. Partly visible, but seen mostly in ones imagination.
Aki Onda is a self-taught musician, currently living in New York, who plays cassettes and electronics.
