    Prequel Tapes x Mare Nero Dinge, is a multidisciplinary project exploring an ascendancy of musical influences through the artist’s own lens, applied in two different time frames.

    Presented as a limited edition physical package formed of an audio cassette tape, accompanying book and a handcrafted steel casing, Dinge comprises three unreleased tracks from 1991 and three compositions recorded in 2018, introduced together as time-displaced manifestations of the same story.

    By revisiting the unreleased works of his formative years, and as such unearthing the roots of his creative process, Prequel Tapes deconstructs the origins of his identity, exposing himself to brutally honest examinations of his ongoing work and its motivations. Fascinated by both the charm and imperfection of his earliest music, he uses the exact same analogue setup twenty seven years later to create three one-take recordings, interrogating his own relationship to the past in a candid documentation of personal history. Mare Nero expand these notions further with repurposed photographs and new artworks.

    Mare Nero is an art duo and independent publishing house founded by Nicola Fucili and Federico Gargaglione in Berlin in 2017. The philosophy behind Mare Nero is based on two parallels:
    - Research, with the aim of bringing young artists to the forefront by creating bespoke publications for each work. No art form is excluded and all means of communication are embraced.
    - Collaboration - Mare Nero (as an art duo) develops a project in collaboration with other artists, on the basis of an idea/concept.

about

Prequel Tapes Berlin, Germany

After years of producing music, it was some old DAT recordings from my youth that were to kick start Prequel Tapes. Listening to those recordings was like a flight back into the past. Understanding these recordings was to realise why I do what I am doing.
Again a circle is closing. I find it´s very enjoyable to open and close all those circles. Time is relative.
Nothing is new, nothing is old.
