Analog Media Assemblage: 8 track cartridge*, Cassette tape, 45rpm 7” vinyl record, Volume Knob.

Each 8 Track Owl is a unique assembly and color pattern design. Ready to hang and “float” off the wall. Hand made in small batches with overlapping color palettes make for matchy color combos if you’re collecting your own analog parliament of owls. Sometimes the labels and original media printing are incorporated into the design.

*I’m learning that some friends have not heard of 8-Track tape cartridges, so there’s a link! TLDR: 8-track cartridges were popular for listening to music, especially in cars, from the mid-sixties until the 80’s when we all started using cassettes. The 8-track cartridge pushed into the player half way, similar to a game cartridge, played in a continuous loop that could only be fast-forwarded or switched between 4 sections of the album (each playing simultaneously). I remember listening to The Beatles “Let it Be” and Don McLean “American Pie” on 8-Track in our home stereo, until I discovered records.
