Erri Ammonita share four stories about selected songs copied on 19 used cassette tapes decorated with found letters. The stories printed in a booklet and the music on the mixtapes bring up the many layers of reuse that form part of making music.

Both the booklets and mixtapes are in slow hand-to-hand pick-up circulation. If you would like to receive the tape and booklet, do write us an email, and we'll put it in our or a friend's bag, when a trip to your destination is on the schedule.

The booklet tells four stories about music pieces that are collected inside the re:re:re:er:ri mixtape, which might be in your hands as well. It is a contribution to think along with the CC4r license about the ethics and politics of re-use, through music. Each story engages with (and sometimes provides a possible answer to) one of the following questions:

• How to collectively resist appropriation outside legal frameworks?

• What type of reuse is the indiscriminate and automated one brought on by machine-processes? Why and how to take collective stances towards it?

• Can reuse without consent of “original authors” happen in a response-able and critically implicated manner?

• How does something stereotypical, offensive and mercenary get turned into something empowering and radical, and vice versa?
