The Life Mixtapes
(2002–present)
The Life Mixtapes at an essential level function as a radio show for my (supposed future) children. Around the time of my birthday each year since the age of 18 I have recorded an approximately 3 hour 'radio show', where as the host, I run through and play a selection of songs that were listened to in the previous year of my life, commenting on how they were discovered and any memories associated with them. Each edition also comes with a separate recording, which serves as an aural diary, detailing in rough chronological order a summary of notable events and where possible, recordings of myself from earlier in that year.
From the age of 18 onwards, my children will receive the corresponding mixtape for their birthday.
