(oTo) / (ordnance, Tape only)
A series of 50 untitled cassettes limited to 50 hand-numbered copies each packaged with minimal information (artist catalogue/number only) and a piece of ordnance survey map as artwork.
The series ran from 2001-2003.
From an (oTo) flyer in circulation whilst the series was still in progress :
"Run by Rob of FFR, oTo provides fine drone, noise, experimental, improv, electronics, field recordings and other musics on the democratic medium of magnetic tape. Ordnance, tape only was conceived as a document of what is happening at the moment in the incredibly diverse no-audience underground.
All tapes are numbered, limited to 50 copies and packaged almost anonymously in sections of map. No titles or information are included, just the artist's name and a catalogue number : the music has to stand up to scrutiny on it's own. This is a deliberate move to dodge the diverting but meaningless packaging and theory that props up many boring releases.
The oTo catalogue will eventually run to 50 titles and then will stop - there will be no further releases. Tapes are one-sided and as such have running times of between roughly 20 minutes and 45 minutes long depending on the wishes of the artist."
