Claremont, CA – November 16, 2019 – Pelekinesis is pleased to announce the upcoming release of 100 Cassettes, new nonfiction from Dennis Callaci, available February 14, 2020 worldwide.
100 Cassettes started life as 100 hand drawn/painted cassette covers for an installation at the dA Center for The Arts in Pomona, California. Six months after that installation, the book 100 Cassettes started being written in earnest. The book’s ninety nine chapters (two of the cassettes make up one chapter) delve into the possibility of each imagined release by a wealth of artists spanning over fifty years. Find early entries of abstraction on Ida Cox, Alice Cooper, Talk Talk, Earl Sweatshirt and Lord Invader to nonfiction-based entries on Tony Conrad, Korla Pandit, Jackie Moore and Black Sabbath. Featuring a foreword by Jonathan Lethem and an afterword by Allen Callaci, the book winds around autobiographical information, the rich culture of Southern California from 1969 to the present day, and all musical points in between.
100 Cassettes by Dennis Callaci will be available through Baker & Taylor, Bertrams, directly from the publisher's website, and in fine local bookstores worldwide.
