Mangiacassette is the Italian word for cassette player, and it literally translates as “cassette eater”. The retrowave style of this piece references 1980s sci-fi movies and evokes specific memories of popular media connected with the artist’s childhood. but also a vague, abstract longing for a past which the artist is fully aware never existed. It’s a piece for nostalgic melophiles who love their music so much that they would eat it.
