We record our thoughts all the time.

By thinking, we are writing. We are recording. We are etching meaning
onto the fabric of our bodies. We are re-ordering our unconscious,
re-directing our drives. Our mind is a recording machine. A piece of
wax upon which we write and rewrite the process of living. Eventually,
the wax melts.

This site arrives out of the frustration with the recording-mind. It is
an attempt to exteriorise a thinking-process, so that, through monologue,
a new process is formed in a host-machine. The site is named after Krapp,
with the full knowledge that external recording media -tapes, bits,
switches - also decay and melt over time.

Recording is risky. It invites ghosts. Recordings return when least
expected. Maybe it won't happen this time.

I have also included here, in the spirit of tapes, selections of music
from my since abandoned work as *Loop Dreams.*
