Released in 1985 on the influential German avant-garde label Ata Tak, Home-Taping Is Killing Music is a boldly experimental electronic record born from an unconventional creative process. A.K. Klosowski and Pyrolator crafted this album using homemade cassette-based techniques, with Klosowski operating a self-built cassette-mixing instrument that gave the project its distinctly raw, DIY spirit.
What makes this release particularly fascinating is the insight it offers into its own creation — the record includes an insert featuring a photo of Klosowski's handmade instrument alongside a list of the actual cassettes used in the recording. The album's title cheekily reclaims the anti-home-taping slogan of the era, turning it into a statement about the liberating potential of lo-fi, tape-based music-making.
